Title: Spammers are attacking the Fungi Forums
Post by: MaxVance on November 21, 2008, 07:15:00 PM

Since November 10th, someone has been registering on these forums accounts that are clearly meant for spam purposes. Even though none of them are posting, they are still cluttering up the member list and links to their sites are in their profiles. Perhaps their overseer set them to post threads, but has yet to notice that they are not doing anything? Or is this person preparing for an attack via private messages? Either way, something should be done about them.

Most of them come from similar IP addresses, which I banned earlier in the week. We've seen no "attacks," just a bunch of new accounts that don't get activated.
