Exclamation Has anyone else noticed...

the extreme increase in Spammers....?

Including(not exact name):
Online Roulette
Best Farmas Shops
Online Slots
Valium Cheap
etc...

And their status always says "Commenting on Gallery Photo"...but they never "post" them.

Is is the result of advertising? Or what...? Any input would be great.

Just trying to save the IBS!

I deleted several lately, even before they could post anything, I have talked with Jarred about it and now we delete every strange looking name,
hopefully without making a mistake.
You see the same names on memberslists of other boards, so most are easy
to identify.

Thanks Ron,
and just to add....
I got a PM spam from "Stephanie" on Jarred's Aquarium Forum and it just so happens it was the SAME Buddhism message as on here....proving my fears that advertising is the cause!

Thanks for doing your job so well Guys!

He already knows and deleted it...but isn't that just weird? From Patricia to Stephanie...and those aren't even suspicious names!

We can't do more then delete them as soon as we know.
It is helpful if members report spam-posts because we recieve an
e-mail notification then.

If it gets worse maybe we have to block IP-adresses at some point.
