Forums are getting hit pretty hard by spammers

Post by timcraig »

The forums have always had spam bot posts from time to time, but it's currently getting pretty bad.


Bellow are links to obvious spammers profiles. Their posts are either asking people to go to some link or they have links in their signatures and their post content is pretty random and irrelevant.

I have turned off the spam filter temporarily. I will follow this up and switch it back on when I have a bit of time to try and tune it a little better.
