Starting from yesterday almost every 5 minutes we recieve a notification of a new comment posted to variouse articles and companies ( we have MV edition).
“Anshuman
Super infatmorive writing; keep it up.”
“Vitoria
Ah yes, nicely put, evoeyrne.”
etc
Definitely it looks like bot-spam but I’m bewildered by absence of any “spam” attachment. Or, as I know, links posting is prohibited inside comments and all those links are just removed automatically by Cs-cart.
So, what should we do to stop this?
These stupid posts are not harmfull but rather annoying
Just enable captcha for Comments and reviews forms on the Settings → Image verification page in the admin panel
The thing is captcha is enabled for all the forms…
This bot hackes it easely I guess.
Should I change captcha preferences from default values to more safe?
This spam drags me crasy, what I'm supposed to do guys???
Tighten up the captcha settings. I was having the same problem, and tightening these settings worked for me. I never get these stupid comments any more.
we tightned it up to the point people had a hard time using it and still had issues. We had to turn off our product question tab.
CS-Cart needs to update this to the google one.
Problem solved
We just switched off two last default options: captcha for authorised users and “after first right answer”.
I guess that real person got authorised and then put login and pass into bot-spam script which had been spamming until we changed captha preferences
