Spam Increase

[moderator]

Hey Everyone,

You may have noticed the HUGE increased in spam as of late... I'm sure its been hard to miss!

Turns out, some Russians (so the story goes), managed to crack Captcha, the system that provides images that you need to transcribe to prove you aren't a computer when filling out a form... As a result, all the sites that utilize it to keep spammers out, like sexinfo101.com, have been hit by a huge wave of fake spam accounts... with a bigger wave of spam postings following.

We've turned Captcha off, in place for a Q&A... and thus far it seems to have put an end to their mass registrations. That said, there were over 1000 fake accounts made, and we've only managed to identify and ban about half of them, so it could be a tad longer before spam returns to normal levels.

Thanks to everyone for reporting the posts... its been a big help!

Cheers,

Tom
