I'm getting hit bad with guestbook spammers. How can I prevent them from making guest book entries? Is there a way to have guest book entries go into a queue that I can approve or decline? It is time consumming to delete once entered because you have to do a transmit for each one. It would be faster if the admin functions provided for a checkbox so you could select all the entries at once that need deletion. Any ideas for how to make things better?<br /><br />Thank you,<br />Bob Hilke<!--content-->

Bob which guestbook script are you using? If it is Advanced Guestbook from proxy2.de then make sure you have updated to 2.3.4 and then you can download a fix from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.carbonize.co.uk/AG">www.carbonize.co.uk/AG</a><!-- w --> or you can upgrade to Lazarus which is a fork of AG that I make. If it is some other script then maybe I can take a look at writing a mod for it.<!--content-->
