Sure has been a lot of spam. Reporting all of it to the spam service and banning the people doing it.

I've been clearing the late late night stuff as I find it.

Joe from Arizona,

are you tracking the IP addresses of these spammers? If they are all from the same block of IPs I might be able to convince ADMIN to ban the whole block.

Yepper.....I see that daily. There had been a lot the last few month. Sent a help request to admin, but like always we hear nothing back.

just asked him to ban all 124.253.x.y addresses from registering as users or accessing the site at all -- whichever is doable.

Was not aware the username count from this IP address block was near 300...

We shall see
