PLEASE VERIFY NEW MEMBERS TO HELP AVOID SPAMMERS

Thanks everyone! Rebecca and I, along with other staff, are now approving new members manually. There are still some accounts owned by spammers who have registered before this latest "incident," so there could be a few more spam posts here and there. But hopefully, we humans can outsmart the bots -- at least until Deep Blue takes it on.

When it does happen is it helpful if we flag all the threads/posts or is it better if we only flag one post of each spammer?

Speak of the devil ..... THEY'RE BACK!

Great question! Just one if there is a rash of them because we can delete them all at once but would have to clear the abuse queue individually if they each appear there.

Has anybody else triggered the spam filter and had a potential post blocked?

And yet, I'm blocked in other places throughout the board....

Say, that's a nifty graphic that we could put to use in the Ukrainian related threads...if only as a reminder.
