Forum Requires Registration Now To Post Messages  Reply with quote  

I've already cleaned up over 30 spam messages from online casino and government grant web sites. I am in the process of cleaning up a ton more that remain. This all happened in only 1 to 2 nights.

They all had ridiculous generic messages like "love this blog", and "great site", with a link to their unwanted gambling or other spam web site. They do this to build traffic and to improve their rating in Google's search results, with absolutely no thought or consideration to the other people that use this forum, or to it's operators and moderators.

Sadly, I am forced to require registration before you are allowed to post to this forum. You can thank the spammer web sites for this. Fortunately registering is free and easy.

{Conclusion}

The cleaning is now done. It was easily over 100 spam messages auto-posted by some bot.

Thanks.

Forum Administrator
