I am very pleased to report that we have made good progress with dealing with spammers registering here to abuse the open nature of a forum.
Although we have suffered a plague of spam posts here over the past fortnight, none have been made by newly registered members.
I have personally tested the registration system, and I was appropriately refused an account when I mimicked the actions of a spammer.
I have also seen guests looking in here, and when I have tracked them online, the software shows me that they attempted to register here, but were similarly refused an account.
So I am confident that the software that has been installed is guarding us well currently.
Nobody can be confident that things might not change again one day, but for the time being, I believe that Moderators and Admin can relax a little, and enjoy a period of calm.
Admin.
