Boris3 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hey guys, I've noticed the recent proliferation of junk/spam threads especially in the general discussion forum. I hate seeing the new forum getting invaded by all of this. Any idea what's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charles Dickens Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Agreed, I'm curious too. I have a feeling that half of the members are spammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 yeah lots of spammers signing up. not sure if they are bots or not, but I delete threads once or twice a day. sorry I cant get to them faster! we may have to beef up the sign up process to stop this.
