Recent spam posts/pm

[Xtrophic]

Due to the recent increase in spam PM:s made by spam bots I have now implemented a few counter measures.

* Memberlist is now blocked for users who are either not logged in, or those who have less than 10 posts.
* Usergroups page is also blocked in the same fashion; for users who are either not logged in, or those who have less than 10 posts.
* When sending private messages the search users feature is also locked to those with less than 10 posts.

This should prevent them from harvesting users to automaticly send to.

For those legit users who are affected by this change I apologize, but I hope you can understand the reason behind it.

I have also deleted all the current spam PMs that are currently in the forum already.

[Xyphos]

www.xyphos.com used to get spam bots daily until I modified the registration process that prevents 99.9% of all spam bots from registering at all.

PM me for details if you're interested in more information,
but the mod requires expert-level PHP knowledge.
