Thank you. I deleted the threads. When you come across spam please make sure you report the post so we will get a notice.

I hear you...I think I reported about a dozen spammers in the last couple days...

I think they post it in here because they think that their crap won't get noticed so quickly at the bottom of the board...

Indeed it does, Zimmy.

How's your health these days by the way?

This section is keeping me very busy. At least the spam is confined to one section.

It gets hit because the thing that is doing the spamming is web bots of some kind and for some reason this forum has something about it that they can target.

The bots are setup running scripts.

If the forum had the feature that you have to enter a random set of numbers and letters displayed to create an account it would cut down on the spam. We do not have that feature yet. I will talk to Brian about it.
