Spammers are a pest. Lots of forums encounter serious problems as we too did some time ago. The taken counter-measures seem to have done the problem of spam messages but they have not all knocked out.
Recently I experience a flood of new "members" which never activate their membership but leave a link to viagra / russian porn / some other fake sites in their profile. These spam bots try to gain links only to raise the google rank of their sites. Within the last three days there have been 67 new registrations of which only two were real people.
During the next week, I will install some anti-spam scripts which should not evoke any problems for real members. But as history has shown, I can´t guarantee that no difficulties will occur. Should you experience difficulties to access the site or similar problems, don´t give up. Please inform me about the problem as I might not notice it otherwise.
Fighting spammers needs your assistance!
Thank you.
