Spammers

Post by Steve »

Thank you to those of you that have been reporting spam posts to us. Doug and I appreciate your help with this, and we take down the posts and ban the user as soon as we can.

We do have various anti-spam measures in place, but unfortunately there's only so much we can do. We'll continue to squash the spammers in our ongoing game of whack-a-mole.

Cleaned up a HUGE amount of spam this morning. Sorry, folks, but we're volunteers here. I suppose if there are a couple of regulars who would like moderator priv's Steve and I could talk about that.
