Recently there were a few spam posts made here. Just to make sure, do not be concerned. *If* this becomes a recurring problem, we can wipe it out by denying those "robots" the ability to spam us. I can do this by turning on "verified" membership, which means in order to become a member (and thus be able to post) you must first provide a valid email address. When you try to create an account, the site will email a verification code to the provided email. If that code is not input the person will not be able to create the account. This will prevent spam "robots" from causing problems for us.
That said - I don't want to turn on verification unless I am forced to. So, if you see a spam message, just click the "alert" button above the message and one of the moderators will kill it. |
