The site is being spammed again. The Fantasy Discussion forum is tatally bombed today. Moderators, please do something fast!!!

Isn't it relatively straightforward to just delete the posts and the users making them? At least now, before it has grown to big.

Seems I spoke too soon.  The well-pissers are still at it.

We do what we can. I can only check once a day the forums.

Increased complexity of visual verification. Now should be better, I guess. If not, we will think about something new.

We can still see some spam but it comes from accounts which were signed before new moderation rules. We need some time to search and kill these sleeping accounts.

Yeah, I expect it will take time, but it looks promising so far.

That will probably help :) Great effort! This forum needs more users like you.

Sorry guys, it was a momentary madness of bots. Now we paid for clenatalk.org antispam protection (it was an end of trial). So we can see the difference.
