    Default Spam Links....

    In the Admin panel under Links, there is Spam Links. How do you add add links to the Spam Links???

    I have someone submitting the same 2 links I keep rejecting over and over again.

    This might be the most annoying part of running a directory, but those two links aren't really spam. They are just being spammed.

    It's difficult to deal with these but I've found the best way is to delete the user who is submitting them and/or ban the IP address of the offender.

    I have banned them... They dont use the same IP each time and they use a different user account each time.

    Does the "Spam Link" work in IndexU??? If so, how?

    Never used that feature, and I don't see any direct way of moving a link to that area.

    Thats what I was thinking too... I couldn't find a way to move a link into that area. Can you check with Dody on if that feature is still available???

    http://www.indexusupport.com/2007/12...-spam-filters/ gives you all the info you need on how to use the spam links area. I guess I should really use more of the features some times
