    Default Wow, that's a lot of spam!!

    five and a half pages of spam, good luck mods. Maybe time to put some kind of filter in place?

    These spammers joined a couple years ago and were quiet until the last couple days. The moderators are moderating new members. I would imagine that there still might be some that get through. Unfortunately, I think there will probably be some more as there were close to 50 (down to about 37, now) that most of joined two years ago whose user name starts with svetl... There are a few that have joined in 2023 & earlier this year rather than 2022.

    I was sad to see all of the spam this morning. Funny...I can't even read it even if I wanted to. Moderators, please remove it asap. Many thanks.

    It is gone for now. It looks like it took less than half an hour to get it removed and users banned.

    Thanks so much for doing that, PatriceJ. I logged on last time and thought what the heck?

    according to the member list there are 18? mods? I know some of them are from the forum owner so doubt they moderate, but surely PatriceJ isn't the only one that can delete at least if not ban. thankless job, thank you
