Major Increase In Spam

[moderator]

Hello Everyone,

As many have probably already noticed, there has been a huge increase in the amount of spam being posted on the board (as many as 20 spam posts a day).

Since these spam attacks appear to be automated, we will be adding a random image to the sign up form that requires a human to fill out in the very near future... In the meantime, we would greatly appreciate everyone making an extra effort to report any of these posts that they come accross. To report a post, just navigate to the top right corner of the post's box, and click on the red triangle with a "!".

Thanks in advance,

Mod.

I would like to add the following. Spam is pretty obvious and I appreciate receiving the notices because I do not look at each and every thread in all forums every time I am at my computer. When it comes to complaints about a poster or their comments, please take an extra moment to be more specific about who said what to whom. It is not always a quick process to find out what is upsetting or off base or topic. What may tick one person off does not necessarily upset the sensabilities of another. On the other hand when someone's comments over time are way off base it is nice to be able to track them.

Here are my thanks to all of you who have sent in notices. I appreciate and applaud your community involvement.

Ah, so that's what the red triangle is for!

Hey Everyone,

The random image generator appears to be working, so the major increase in spam should be over... (fingers crossed).

Thank you to everyone who reported those posts!
