Forum Rules

[admin]

@al3x,

That's a widespread problem nowadays and especially hard to counter with a rather old forum software like MyBB unfortunately. Forum rules can't stop that, you need better spam protection.

I agree with you, but I am reluctant to criticize the Hasleo Software Company of employing a vulnerable, old Forum software program to host their website.  I don't think they had the money for more modern Forum software.

In the meantime, close control of spam posting can, at least, lessen the contamination of this site with spam, a reason I thought it was critical to have Forum Rules.  @admin has honestly admitted that he is not an expert on this Board software, or any other, I presume.

Hasleo Software is still getting established as a major player in the backup software market.  That this Forum is now attracting spammers, is, in a perverse way, a recognition that Hasleo Software is succeeding in its mission.  These are "early days."  Input from members like you and @Froggie are indispensable.  I too, am just trying to help.

Let's all work together.  Their backup software, and the effort they have put into it, deserve our commendation and support!

Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

Thank you very much for everyone's help. Indeed, MyBB has significant issues, especially the lack of an anti-spam mechanism. However, migrating to a new system would not be easy, primarily due to the challenge of moving the large volume of existing threads. This would only be feasible if the new system supports data migration from MyBB. For now, our focus should remain on the product. We can reconsider a forum upgrade when we have sufficient time and manpower.
