New Years Resolution -- More Spam?

[WhyYou]

Every member of this message board has the ability to flag any post that they think is spam by reporting that post. There is a report icon on the lower left under the nickname of the poster.

There are 3 Moderators here and we have been doing the best we can to keep ahead of the spammers. However, since the first of this year the number of bans went from a little over 400 to over 2500 in one month. During this time we have had some controls activated. But any control can be worked through by a determined spammer. We have learned a trick or two to help us identify some spammers before they post their spam. But arbitrarily banning people because they look like spammers is not a good idea.

Recently, the amount of spam has diminished for the most part. There are still times when there will be peaks. Just remember that we Moderators must sleep sometimes.
