So sorry about all the spam!
« on: January 14, 2012, 08:15:21 AM »
Subject says it all.  Dunno where all these spam posts are coming from.  I think it has to do with having our forum link on Steam.  We got a flurry of spam when Gemini Rue went up as well.  I check the forum often and I zap the spam posts as soon as I see them.  But if I miss any, please click on the "report to moderator" link at the bottom of the page.

I've changed the security question for registration, so hopefully that will help slow down the spammers!

I've been trying to catch all of those that get posted before going to bed.  We have really been slammed with all kinds, I tell ya.

As a moderator in a very high traffic forum, trust me, I understand all too well.

The worse are the human spambots. And the ones that hide the URL... But I'm rambling.

Nuke them from orbit.

That is so meta I am tempted to leave it.

I saw this one Dave, but I wasn't sure if it was meant as a funny or what. So I decided to leave it for you.

If Joey were here, he'd say "sign of a forum with character" HAHA! That is, if he knew what internet forums are.
