personaly if it looks like spam it probably is.
----------------------------------------one idea might be limiting the amount of post a person can create withing the first 24 hours... for example 1 post instanly 2 nd-5th post 10 min from last post 6-10th post 20 min between.. this would limit the amount of posts a new user could instantly create and do.. yes i am sure 10000 new users could be created to bypass this (and its what it sounds like something like that happened) mabey an alert could be setup for say x new users in a y period of time that it flags an admin of some sort to check it out  |

There's a spammer active in the project forums. Was reported, so please do not reply and dont click on the links... Even that makes them money!
----------------------------------------@admin,why can spammers make so many posts, 14, in such a short space of time and not end in moderation? (don't answer) BTW You were set up for this to happen by the sow of Nov.7. There's another one you've been warned for in the forums, ready to come out of sleeper mode.

@admin,why can spammers make so many posts, 14, in such a short space of time and not end in moderation? (don't answer) Because this forum software was created when SPAM was yet an unknown term.  |

I'm wondering why the admins have not deleted the entire Rose1812 account along with all posts. It's complete garbage produced by bots that gather and combine random text parts from various posts on the forum. The resulting post is nonsense and just tries to look on topic in a attempt to insert hyperlinks.
----------------------------------------When I find such posts on my forum I delete the entire account and submit to www.stopforumspam.com [Edit 1 times, last edit by Mumak at Nov 29, 2017 6:42:29 PM] |

All smap links were removed, since them being in the signature section, single action. Half of the filler posts remain though some sitting in currently active threads, and that is no good to anyone.
