Spam has gone wild on my site....

Try changing to Secuimage. To deal with the spam just load up

User Control

I just put in a custom security question registration addon and I am still getting 3-4 users registering per day and spamming.

Anything else I can do?

Use your own questions and answers, something like "My site name?" or something new.

Alright changed the questions to something more difficult and I haven't had anything in the last few days so hopefully that's it...

How can I delete all 2400 article submissions? Is there something I can remove from the SQL databases?
Deleting all 2400 manually will take literally 6hrs+

just delete the spam-users via admin-panel, i think the posts will be deleted with them.

Yes all the posts, comments, ratings etc.

But not the shouts. :(

Really?

REALLY!

Since the shoutbox is an infusion, this line $result = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_SHOUTBOX." WHERE shout_name='".$userdata['user_id']."'"); is removed from footer.php

Oh yes of course.

My bad, forgot about it :)

And this query is very useful for peoples.

There should be a hook for infusions to take care of this sort of thing. Perhaps in v8 and for now a fix in v7.

Feel free to submit this.

Deleting the user does not remove submitted pending articles.

Whats the next course of action?

w124-zone is correct. This should be fixed to.

Like I said...is there a SQL database that keeps pending articles?

I am now up to 2780 submitted pending spam articles

The new version of v8 Would be useful to do a background check for the administrator before publishing comments yet. To be done in the Settings - Other settings opportunity to choose publishing comments. This is similar realized in this mod "Admin Onaylı Yorumlar" - http://www.phpfusionturkiye.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=4370&pid=32978#post_32978
