I was severely criticised for voicing my opinions on this matter earlier so I'll just say yes, this forum is dying under the weight of spam at the moment and yes, very sensible suggestions for remedying this problem have been put forward in the past and apparently ignored or dismissed.


I think you should be applauded!

Spam isn't coming from a person, it's coming from a program designed to login to forums that have no security and post spam.

Actually, spam can be from people as well - rather Amazon Mechanical Turk style. I'm not saying that is what is happening here - but it is a possibility.

Although we have a longer term fix that we're working on to resolve this issue once and for all, it's apparent that we're going to have to take some shorter term countermeasures as well. Appreciate everyone's patience while we beef things up a bit to combat the unfortunate element of society that likes to further such things.

The incidents are becoming less frequent, obviously you're all making an effort. if you don't like the spam, ignore them, they'll go away.

Personally, I think the spam is coming from Hawaii, they love that stuff!

That just doesn't even SOUND comfortable. :-) No, not sitting on our hands on the topic and the gripes that folks have been expressing on the topic are all extremely legitimate ... it's just that our plan to ultimately resolve the issue is taking longer than expected to get rolled out so now we're looking at a shorter term fix. Appreciate everyone's continued patience in the interim!

I guess we just keep reporting the spam when it hits and don't post in the threads.
