Forum hit by a barrage of spammers

Over the weekend, a flurry of spammers attacked the forum and created virtually hundreds of threads. Several times, I was overwhelmed with the task of cleaning the forum.

As quickly as I could permanently ban a new registered spammer and begin deleting pages and pages of threads, another spammer registered and began posting the same stuff.

There are currently 8 banned spammers still logged in, but they can't post. AldenEr, Brantrax, DavinSi, DerikLime, Jerodsync, Keganfer, Kevenpoes, RidgeKets.

Please report spam as soon as you see it, so I can get on it before it takes over the forum.

Thanks for your help.

I’m sorry to hear that’s necessary and thanks for cleaning the place up. The Internet definitely has turned into a two edged sword sometimes

Keeping the place clear of the trolls of the interweb is hard work, muchly appreciate the folks who take care of it so the rest of us can enjoy the forum.
