SPAM

Looks like the site has been attacked by spamners.

I've spent the last 10 minutes removing about 25 pages! - not posts - of spams. Most are from 2 'new members'. I'll check to see if I can simply delete all of a member's posts at one time. We used to be able to do this in the past but I can't find a way to do this with the new software.

We're working on it!
Mike, if you click the username and mouse-over their avatar it should give a spam cleaner option/link

 

[Mike Wise]

Thanks, Josh. I'll try that.

I was looking for that! I was moving the posts to the junk bin 1/2 as fast as they were being posted!

Is there any way/desire to change the forum policy so that you have to make a few moderated posts as a new member before you are turned loose to post whenever/whatever you want? May be a way to screen spam before it makes it to the boards?

Jason, thanks for the feedback! I think that's a great but it's difficult to get help moderating all those posts would be quite a task for our mods. Especially if none of us can get online to approve posts...

Thanks for the fix! I was tired of wading through the spam (Refinance your member! Enlarge your mortgage!).
