      That's the main discussion forum so I suspect it gets hit more, are you reporting them? Provided they're reported and it's at a time the moderators are about, they'll soon vanish.

      What gives? Well, you could say there's a lot of spam, or you could say there's a lot of very badly done spam.

    You only see a small fraction of spam before it's deleted.

    Keep clicking the spam report button when you find any spam threads/comments.

    If WF couldn't handle spam, that's all you would see. You do know that it gets deleted as soon as mods see it, don't you?

    Do you also know that there is a little red triangle in the left corner of all posts that is the report button? One sure way to help mods and make sure that they see them is to use the report button.

    As you can see from your screenshot, that's only one spammer on a roll, posting like mad until it gets deleted.

    I was there when that happened, It was a burst of spam, I (and I presume others) reported it immediately and it was gone in minutes. They allow registrations without interview so it's pretty hard to control what someone posts as they're posting it so it has to be handled after it's been posted but with so many of us reporting spam all the time it's well under control.

    The mods are pretty good here. It really makes WF great.

      One spammer went nuts around 5:30 this morning. I reported around a dozen, but when it hit 40, I gave up. I have my own problems in life to deal with, unless someone wants to cut me a check.

      Cheers. - Frank

        Damn 40 in one setting. That has to be a record of sorts.
