This is getting ridiculous now. I've been deleting 20+ spamposts a day. :((
While I'm happy to help keep the place in order, one of the main reasons given for moving to a new forum-system... was that it would be better guarded against spam.
Let's hope Carpy's e-mail suggestions elicit some response/action from Fascination.

That's the sort of thing I'd expected they might be introducing.
Carpy was expecting to hear back from Adam at FM around today-ish I think...
If the Forum is phpBB then Admin could use a CAPTCHA mod, set it so its only required when the user is not logged in. That should put a stop to all of the spam. They need to shore things up, its like emptying a sinking ship with a bucket at the moment and these guys deleting are doing a phenomenal job but its so much effort time and time again.
