SEOPerfectCart forum has recently experienced a rash of spammers. These are people who obviously are trying for a quick link and failed to read the conduct and permissions on the forum. We have devised a quick fix to deny spammers the ability to benefit from creating accounts and having bots index the links without actually adding content to the site. If you want the code you need to follow the READ MORE link ……

We understand the business of the internet and that links are important but free links without reciprocal links are not in our best interest. Hell a lot of surfers still have not realized that getting information from a website and not supporting that site by clicking on the ads is a quick way to loose the gift of free information on the internet. The only sites left will be those run by public corporations that will not ever in a million years give you information that is insensitive or politically incorrect or help you succeed in any way. If you want more to read some great rants check out advisecenter.com. So after that short rant let me tell you how to get spammers to sign up for your site thinking they can exploit your memberlist.php without adding viable content to your site and deny them the fruit of their labors.

1. Open memberlist.php in your favorite editor.
2. at around line 36 add the following lines after the END session management and before $start =
3. PHP
   // Start session management$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS);
   init_userprefs($userdata);// End session management// SEOPC login to view memberlist.php

   if (!$userdata['session_logged_in']) {
   redirect(”login.$phpEx”);
   }

   // EOF | login to view memberlist.php

   $start = ( isset($_GET['start']) ) ? intval($_GET['start']) : 0;
   $start = ($start < 0) ? 0 : $start;

4. Open profile.php in your favorite editor.
5. at around line 36 add the following lines after the END session management and before // session id check
6. PHP
   // End session management
   //if (!$userdata['session_logged_in']){
   redirect(”login.$phpEx”);
   }// session id check

Thats it now spiders cannot view memberlist.php or profile.php because they do not login. The spammers become forum members but they have to actually participate to get links.

Have a great day and don’t forget to support internet neutrality.
