Spammers

[Kizzie]

Please note that due to a recent increase in spamming on this site, my approval is now required before accounts for new members are activated. I've also had to remove "Signature" from profiles as people were embedding links there.

Thanks for your continued watchfulness. 

[Boy22]

Another voice of thanks.

[Blueberry]

From me too, for all the extra work involved as well.

[Laura90]

Thanks Kizzie for all the work you're putting in.

[Contessa]

I have missed every spam event, but very sorry this is happening. Thank you for looking out for keeping us all safe Kizzie.

Thank you for keeping the board clear and safe from all of this, Kizzie

[SharpAndBlunt]

Would just like to add my thanks for keeping the board running.

[Kizzie]

Update - still getting 10-20 spammers trying to access the board daily but I'm able to stop them at the gate using the approval of new members feature.

Sounds like a good new feature

Thanks for taking the trouble to deal with that discouraging development.   

[Three Roses]

Thank you, kizzie.

40 people asking to join this morning alone of which about 5 or 6 were legit. These spammers do not give up easily!     

Anyway, I am able to deal with most, but like yesterday occasionally one will slip through so plse just report the post (lower right corner of post), and we will deal with it.  They are not a threat to your privacy or security by the way, just annoying.

Tks!
