Spam 'bots and modern info disturbances

[McGillicuddy]

The rude invasion of this website by indifferent a$$holes specifically on the CSC gathering, and Boat Builder Central forums has me troubled. Is it possible that the invasion is due to the ".com" in the forum titles??? What say you Trayder?

Just a thought. I hate spammers!
Al Gore, I'm calling you out - did you invent SPAM, too???

[Trayder]

I have banned 1000's of IP addresses, gmail.com email extentions (which stinks as many legit folks use gmail) and have to check every single registration yet all it takes is one clever name to get by and you see the outcome.

doing the best I can with it, if you see them just report them and we will delete

So, that being said, are you guys getting the "Report Post" notifications using the red triangle icon?

[Snookerd]

I delete the threads or posts only in the Gatherings section due to my access as a moderator in that section.

[McGillicuddy]

Was this a problem with the old server?

[Trayder]

Your killing me Sandy

We have never changed servers, software yes, servers no

Regardless, the issue is with both forum software programs it's just getting progressively worse
