[Vespula Vulgaris]

Firstly apologies for the spam that has recently appeared on the board.  We have obviously been found by a bunch of pharma spammers.

If you see some please report it.  Obviously it gets removed as soon as we see it, but the sooner we see it the sooner it will go!

To prevent it in future we obviously need to make it harder for those accounts to be created, so if you have any ideas for questions that would be simple for an actual fan to answer, but hard for someone who isn't please let me know!

How about..."What can you get for £5?"

[wasps]

What are the current questions?

Can we include images?
Could we have pictures of pretty well known wasps players (Dallaglio, Cips, Ash etc)

If you've got any interest in rugby they shouldn't be difficult, but would be harder for those with no interest

[Vespula Vulgaris]

They are just text, currently they are:

What number does a scrum half usually wear?

And

What colour is Ashley Johnson's hair?

I like this!

Unfortunately, the £5 is an in home in this and the other forum.
A new fan trying to sign up would be oblivious to its meaning....
In fact, there's probably some members who wouldn't get the reference either.


Its difficult. It's relatively easy to stop bots signing up .. but if they registrations are coming from real people then we're going to struggle unless a pattern can be identified to block them

[Rossm]

Email address?

[wasps]

Is it worth disabling the ability to sign up overnight?



Maybe ask who their favourite wasps player is.
If the answer isn't Jimmy Gopperth, then they're not coming in

[RogerE]

which  teams did Wasps beat to win their Heinekin Cups?

or

Where did Wasps play before the Ricoh?

Can't do that the spammers would then know.

Many years ago when Cipriani left Wasps the first time, some posters on the "Other" message board had a fixation with him & wouldn't stop starting threads about him. Someone suggested that there should be a virtual £5 fine for anyone who mentioned his name, hence the nickname of "fiver" or "£5" when referring to him was born.
