Dealing with spammers

Dear forum,

We've had a rash of spammers registering for the forum lately, listing their porn, drug, and gambling sites as home page, hoping the link would boost their standing with the search engines. w.c. and I have been banning and deleting them, but I've taken new measures that restrict info shown in the user profile to basically nil. I've also set up a moderation queue so that new registrants can't post without approval. Sorry for the inconvenience; it will not impede reading and posting rights to those already registered. Maybe we can eventually loosen things up.

Phil

People mock what they cannot understand.

"Are you a Mod or a Rocker?"

Ringo Star: "I'm a Mocker!"

I do hope I did not conjure these beasties with my recent studies on anarcho-capitalism. Wink

Anyway, Phil, we are indeed fortunate to have a sane administrator, with kundalini, dedicated to the Highest Good. Smiler

caritas, and SPAM, mm
