I think this website has a technical problem that needs fixing.

Wow. I've never seen so much uncontrolled spam on a forum, ever.

 

Somebody is asleep behind the wheel.

Wow. This looks worse every time I come back to it.

I've now nuked all of the spam.  It's interesting that all those posts somehow got through the spam filter!

Thanks Adam. I thought we were about to be hacked to death.

Hey, maybe they read our posts and thought we needed drugs?  Kidding, of course!  Thanks for the clean-up.

Thanks Adam. I thought we were about to be hacked to death.

Luckily there's an option that allows me to delete all of the spam with one click.  The forum uses an external spam service, so similar spam shouldn't make it through next time.

Hope it works as they are an annoying distraction from a great site.

We have another one on the forum...this ones even worse. I've reported it so hopefully it'll get deleted pretty quick.

I reported it as well...these things will happen...we all just need to report if we see an issue - I'm sure Adam and the hosting folks are doing everything they can to keep things out, but some will always sneak through...

I just deleted the user.  It looks like we need to get a few moderators forum the forum so that we can handle spam around the clock!

Adam, I have reported spams in the past. Does the system pump the reports through to you and other moderators?

Yes, there's a centralized system that makes them very easy to take care of.
