Spammers
« on: December 30, 2013, 06:36:53 pm »
Seems we are getting an influx of spammers somehow getting on the site. 'Tis the season, I guess. Not sure how they are getting through the screening process. Trying to get this worked out. I apologize for the inconvienience.

LOL! I was on a few hours ago and all was good. That last one managed to post about a dozen times.
I have banned a good dozen this week alone. Not sure how many you have caught. Trying to get something worked out to help stop them from getting on.

If any of our members spot a spammer PLEASE message me right away. I am working to get the problem fixed. Unfortunately, I do not have access to some parts of the program for the site. Again, I apologize for the inconvienience these spammers cause.

Just spent about 1/2 hour removing posts by that last one. We are still getting 1 or 2 every other day.
Sorry folks! We are trying to stay on top of these spammers.
