Re: New member spamming with PM's?
The situation will get much worse before it gets better.
I personally handle the signups to this forum. You would not
believe the amount of "fly by night" telecom companies that I
catch trying to register here on a daily basis. Additionally, there
are just as many start-up companies that register here that you
can just tell are looking to use this forum to promote their business.
Fortunately, most of them are stopped at signup. If not, our spam
filter usually catches their posts and puts it in a "holding area" so we
can delete it before it gets broadcast on the forum.
The Moderating staff monitors our spam filters daily, and so far, it's
very rare that this forum falls victim to spam. However, I can see
spammers becoming a lot more "aggressive" than they ever have and
my fear is that it's going to be harder to keep them out.
We appreciate you guys helping us out on this front.
