Blocking random discussion postings
Blocking random discussion postings
(OP)
I have a discussion web and i have been getting a lot of random spam type postings to it. Most seem to be coming from Asia with funny characters. How can I keep these postings from being added? Can I create something that causes it to require a confirmation click?

RE: Blocking random discussion postings
If you think this may be coming from bots, you might be able to set a field requiring specific input. Even manual submissions are more difficult when validation is required. Sometimes simply using validation for any field might squash this.
Something like:
yhctskw
Then set a text field like:
CODE
I-Maximum-Length="7" S-Validation-Constraint="Equal to"
S-Validation-Value="yhctskw" -->
<input type="text" name="T1" size="20" maxlength="7">
This input field should help with a standard form, I think it will work for the Discussion Web as well. You could change this periodically if necessary.
Hope I have been of some help,

I have a couple more tips here.

Unfortunately, you may need to consider a third party solution in the future.
