Title: SPAM Update
Post by: matt on March 15, 2012, 06:42:09 pm

Hey all,

I'm sure most of you have noticed that as soon as we switched to this new forum software the spammers have taken notice. Most of the spam has come from old account that have been registered over the last year so we are banning those as we find them. In order to help stop new spammers from signed up I've added reCaptcha to the registration page. This obviously isn't the end all solution, but it should help.

Thank you all for using the report button when you see spam. We get alerted when those reports are submitted and will do our best to use the Ban Hammer of Great Justice to clean it up asap.

Matt
