Spam problem
 

Are there any mods around? Is anyone cleaning up the spam?

And the reason for the spam is mostly likely an outdated version of the forum software (the version numebr at the bottom of the page says 3.6.10, that's from 2008!).

It seems some spambots have finally found this site and are really bombing it. It could be that the only solution is to update the software to the latest version, and that's something that only Peter can do. So, are we ****ed?

I'm doing it every day I'm on, as are the other mods so please bear with us.

It's been confined to the movie forum for a while so it hasn't caused too much issue, but it seems to have escaped today.

You have no idea how much spam we clean up on a daily basis. I issued 12 bans of spamming accounts on Sunday alone.

lose the snow please

I do.

And it's going to keep getting worse until someone fixes the forum software.

They can't. Only Peter can.

Heh, how ironic for loads of spam to hit this very thread!

I don't stop by much any more, I clean up the spam in the movie forum when I do - today was the worst yet, pages and pages of it!! Ridiculous!

One day I deleted 80 threads from that forum. At least it's pretty much confined to that forum.

Just had the most I've seen yet - 142 threads :o
