This directed to Jeff-
There appears to be an increasing number of these posting on this forum. I presume you delete them as they're not there a day or two after posting.
Have you attempted to determine the source.
Very curious.
Cheers, Ralph

Ralph,
They are posts by spammers using the "GUEST" format. I could get rid of it completely by restricting posts to registered users only....
However....
In the interest of usability and for those that forget their log-in or password, I wanted to make this forum as easy to use as possible....similiar to the the Yahoo forum.
The upside is this, they only target forums that are fairly dorment. In times that we have posted even 1 post a day, the spammers stay away. The are looking for forums that their spam will sit on for days at atime without deleting. I generally review for spam daily but sometimes I forget.
So to answer your question, I can't pinpoint the source and because they are using the GUEST format, I can't block an email address and their IP address is not provided to me.
All I can say is the more we post the less they post.
Jeff.
