      I have noticed a slight uptick in spam. I suppose that means the site is gaining traction on search engines. Anyway, if you see "spam", please flag it immediately so we can delete the thread and ban the account.

      Thank you,

            I would have flagged a recent one if the perpetrator hadn't been noted as banned. I figured the deed had already been done, and today I see that the post has been removed.

              Please note that "Spam" is a trademarked brand name and the fine folks at Hormel have only requested that the internet scourge be denominated as "spam".

                I have noticed that since the Administrator moved to South America, there has been a sudden upsurge of spam (61 instances within one night!)from Spanish-speaking perpetrators. It seems probable that the Administrator has been hacked. Please take your measures accordingly. I am trying to get all the spam threads removed and banned asap, but as the single moderator remaining active, it is arduous. If you have any means of contacting the administrator by means outside of this channel, please do so.

                  I don't think I was hacked. It appears that I will need to turn on email confirmation for new users.

                    Unfortunately I had to turn on administrative approval for new accounts. I hate spam.

                      But the efforts are appreciated, as I believe we will have a better product on TB.
