Once again,

Spam by "wkwen123". This is his 24 post. Spam date 4/29/2010 at 10:38 pm. Posted Titled "Blu". Post location is in the Challenges and Checkin section.

Whatever was done to disable or restrict his account, doesn't look like it worked.

LOL, I am almost positive that not one sale of the products being advertised by the spammers has resulted from the ads placed by the spammers on this forum!

Why is wkwen123 still allowed to post when all 20 of his posts have been SPAM!

He posted a new thread again last night, subject: bluray player.

I saw just the one new spam, which was his 22 post. It was flagged. I think the title of his pose was "12" but now I can't find it.

Next time I'll try to remember to write down where I see a post such as this.

Thank you for writing.

We have restricted wkwen123's use of the forum.

We will continue to fight for our forum!

wkwen123 posted more spam, 22 posts so far, guess the restriction didn't work.

Another forum I visit uses some kind of software that basically requires an actual human response, and prevents spambots from registering at all.

I don't know the technical end of things, but making that little 'are you a human' test part of the registration process seems to have totally stopped the spambots. (Weirdos and pervs are a little harder to weed out, but at least we aren't cluttered with computer generated spam.)

Just thought I'd mention it, if it's something that your company hasn't yet considered.

It definitely makes life easier on the forum moderators at that board (who approve all user registrations one at a time).

This forum is unique in my experience. There are other blogs and forums, regarding fitness, news, politics, etc. etc., but this place is more than just another click---this is a community. And although we sometimes disagree with each other on this or that, I don't mind that at all because it is stimulating and there is a level of civility here and a shared focus that is so rare on the internet.

What I REALLY mind is the spammers. I REALLY mind those that would come here without thought for anyone but themselves--- to disrupt, to promote, to dilute the quality of this oh so human and rare virtual community.

Thank you Donna for initiating this thread. Thank you my FFs for being so stalwart in your desire to protect what we have here. And thank you Collage for giving us this platform, for your light touch in moderation---allowing the community to make it's own rules for the better part, and for knowing a good thing for what it is.

"We will never give up our forum!"---Collage moderator.

You know what I think? I think the spammers don't have a chance against this group of warrior women.
