SPAM AGAIN!

[Michael Messer]

It has been a long time since we saw any spam & junk messages on the forum. However, this morning I checked in and found that a spammer had joined the forum and left 20 spam messages all over the forum. It was a twenty minute job to clear it up.

I have banned their username, email address & IP address. I hope it stops them and isn't the beginning of another spate of these idiots vandalising our forum.

Shine On
Michael.

All the more reason for having a sign-up process, with "captchas". Legitimate users have no problem is signing up legitimately. The problem is now that spamming is so financially lucrative that they employ people to create these IDs and get past the captchas, someting that automated spammers can't.

Ah well
