Spam was created by goatboy
Hi Martin,
I'm sure you've noticed but there is a lot of spam appearing on the site at the moment.

Is there a way to stop the spammers joining up? Assuming they are not really people is it possible to have one of those "whats written in the box" sort of things or something?

Not the end of the world but it seems to be on the increase...

ETA: just tried to register a spam account and I now realise it sends an activation link to an email, couldn't remember, but doesn't seem to deter all spammers, maybe they are real people

I have tighten the anti-spam detection today, I notice that it has trapped some legitmate posts so I apologise in advance whilst it is "tuned".

Also - ALL MODERATORS PLEASE NOTE.

When moderating messages a new "SPAM" button has appeared, please click on this rather than simply deleting the message as this helps "teach" the system to find spam.

I assume me reporting these dodgy posts is the right thing to do Martin.

Yes, please click and report.

I think I have managed to cut it down. I had 50 messages in the spam trap and I only saw one had got through.

The latest spammer looks to still be a registered user that Martin must have deleted just as I was about to report it.
