Title: Do NOT feed the spammers
Post by: Peter van Es on March 22, 2011, 22:07:40

The battle against spammers is getting hotter... there are hundreds of (automated) attempts to sign up to our forum... most of these don't succeed. Every day a couple of spammers do manage to sign up and log in. We have managed to ban the bots (robot spammers) but spammers are now employing real people in India and other low-cost countries to circumvent captcha's and other anti-spam protections.  Most spammers just sign up, add spam in their signature and never bother to post (primarily because their automated posters are thwarted by our software).

If someone posts a spam post, do NOT respond to it. Just report it. The moderators WILL remove it, block the spammer and make life more difficult (for them).
