Really? I went through 5 pages of spam.  Even for a spambot, that's a LOT of spam! I guess it was only a matter of time until it found it's way to this board?

Agree.  I had to go through 11 pages.

I'm sure once a moderator (do we even have any?) or Tom logs in, the posts will be removed.

I have reported a number of posts to the mod (with the link in the bottom right of a post).

 

I also sent an email to Tom (Limetech) about what is going on and hopefully something could be done about it.

Sort by"Started by" and it is easier.

 

I use the stop form spam plugin on the sites where I use the SMF forum software.... it has been 99.9% effective.

Considering there's at least 6 of us here every single day and have been for as long as I can remember Tom just needs to hand out some mod powers with a instruction of "just for spam".

 

TBH i am surprised we dont get spammed more often

Could not agree more!!

 

I sent an email off to him about doing such a thing (giving some Hero members mod ability).

 

I saw the spam right away and was for a while trying to report it as it happened.  As soon as I saw it was not going to stop I quit doing that and sent the email to Tom.

 

Had I had mod rights I probably could have stopped the spam after about 20 posts tops.

I have the same mod installed on my forum and the last time I checked I had over 4200 spam signup's blocked.
