Well I'm just stepping away from here until spam filter is in place :(

If you leave, make sure you leave a number so we can let you know as soon as all the spam stops... 'cause we'll miss you dearly.

Wow. The forum just turned into an internet spam jungle.

Thunderbolt, lol, try me on 666 it gets a little hot where I go, but it sure as hell cooks the Spam nicely! BTW you never even sent me a card Thunderbolt

Well, I came back and look Spam is gone! Maybe it worked? Or do I just attract the wrong type of posters?

I suppose it's a little like the man in New York selling Spray that keeps away Elephants. When asked if it worked, he said "well can you see any!?"

That analogy wouldn't work in the jungle though.

Well it was a long stay away, but seems as though I fixed it for everybody, I don't mind if you want to thank me....no, really...oh okay, you really don't

I don't think a Spam filter is what you need.

Actually, I suspect you need to recruit some moderators.

A captcha won't work, because real people are making real postings.

IMO, of course.

Sad isn't?! You know at what point in your life do you stop and think, "man my life sucks, I'm an internet spammer."

Funny, I haven't noticed any spam here; probably because I live in GMT+1 timezone. I think it's mainly a problem for our U.S. friends because it's removed manually. by the time the americans log in, the east-european moderators are fast asleep and new SPAM will be added?

Nah, I live in the UK and I've seen a lot. Mainly since last Friday or maybe Thursday.

Report postings by PM to nearmiss or by clicking on the Report Post Icon

in the upper right corner of the posting you want to report. I will get an email notification and the Spammer and the posting will be dealt with ASAP.

I haven't really noticed any. For those that do, it is a shame and will be good when the problem is solved.
