Occasionally spammers get in. That silly "playthru" game stops most bots at registration, but it can't keep out humans determined to post links to their SEO clients' websites.
The most often abused feature is "signatures". Hardly anyone uses them, so I've turned off the signature feature. If anyone was really using a signature, please reply here. There might be a way to turn signatures on, but without links? If anyone really believes the signature feature matters, I'm certainly willing to listen....
If you see spam, please use the "Report Post" button. It's the little black triangle on the left side, under each message.
Those reports go directly to Robin. She isn't highly active on the forum, but we do all enjoy a mostly spam-free forum due to her diligence. She regularly monitors new registrations and looks for patterns spammers follow, like registering several accounts which they leave dormant for months, hoping to evade "new user" filters. She routinely blocks IP addresses.
