Spam

I know that things have changed in the past year, but the spam has taken off out of control.

Anyone have any idea why?

Ugh. I have no idea. It's really annoying though.

I'm all ears if anyone had any ideas on how to stop it.

The spam is coming from sister sites and the filter is SERIOUSLY outdated. Getting I.T. involved might help.

We used a simple question mod for signups on our forum and it has gotten rid of tons of spam.

It'll ask questions like What color is the sky? Etc.

Helped a ton.

That's an excellent idea.
