Thanks MM. To add to that: Don't reply to spammers, and definitely don't quote them. Just click the exclamation mark and we'll be along to clean it up.

Other forums have it so new members must post 10 times before they have access to create a new thread and they have a specific thread to make the 10 postings into. This certainly wont stop spammers from posting replies to existing threads as we just experienced but it will stop them from creating 100 new threads as seen on the old HS site.

Revisiting this subject as the spammers have been very diligent of late.
PLEASE report that spam.

The spamming has increased because 1 spammer got in and relayed the info to the program database for other spammers to also attack. If something isn't done on the software captcha side soon expect to see HUNDREDS of spam posts a day all from different accounts. Not a fun mess to clean up.

As mentioned by administrator “Don’t reply to spammers”. It just takes more work to remove each post. 😊 Thank you!
