I come here often late at night. It is not uncommon to see lots and lots of spam messages.
Lots of spam.
The moderators are clearly kept very busy chasing them down and clearing them out.

I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work keeping this forum a nice, viable place for all of us.
I really appreciate all your efforts!

Has quilting board always been a target for this kind of spam?

It seems like there is so much more of it lately.

t also hank you for the clean out of the garbage posts.

I do wonder what language many of them are written anyone know?

I'm guessing you are referring to things like ¸Ð¿Ñ€Ð¾Ð´Ð°Ñ‚ The one that recently posted post like that has link to a Russian domain site and country of residence in profile is Namibia (country in southern Africa). I'm not sure if the Country of Residence in profile is accurate.
The spam bots and spammers are from all over the world.

I'm always amazed at how many views obvious spam gets. If it has had no views I report it, if someone from here has already responded I just go on my way, no way am I givinng them the satisifaction of views

Ditto what OneCharmShort said!

The slams have been bad lately, thanks for all you do to take them down. No, I do not click on them because who knows what kind of virus they contain.

Love our moderators!

Ourworkbench -- you were reporting folks to a spam site off QB, too. Should we all do that in addition to sending the notification to Patrice that the message is spam?
