My guestbook is full of SPAM, help!

Are you using GBook from phpjunkyard.com?

• NO
  
  You need to start using a script with powerful SPAM protection.
  
  Download and Install: GBook - PHP Guestbook
  
  
• YES
  
  Good. Here are a few tips to tighten the SPAM security:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of GBook installed.
    
2. Write a good unique anti-SPAM question, see example for $settings['spam_question'] in the  inside the readme.htm file of your GBook.
    
3. Make sure security image is enabled, set $settings['autosubmit'] to 1 in your settings.
    
4. Make sure Junkmark filter is enabled, set $settings['junkmark_use'] to 1 in your settings.
    
5. You can choose to manually approve new guestbook entries by setting $settings['man_approval'] to 1 in your settings.
   
   
6. Purchase a GBook License. This will remove the "Powered by" links from your GBook making it harder to find by spammers.
    

Tip: learn more about each available settings in the readme.htm file. A copy is also available here: GBook readme
