Spam Posts

[Jim]

There's been an increasing amount of spam being posted here lately. It started a few weeks ago and I'm deleting about 2-4 posts a day now.

I'm pretty sure it's just auto-posting spambots. They're getting in and posting in the gig forums where you don't need to be registered.

I know it's annoying, but if you see anything, just click the "Report this post" link and send it off. You don't need to write a big description, just submit the form. I check out all reported posts as soon as I get them.

I'm going to be upgrading the forums to version 3.5 of vBulletin in the near future and hopefully the spam will be blocked a bit better.

Thanks,
Jim

I just used this code for generating a image password on the fly. I just cut and pasted a few things into the code and bingo, it worked great. If you need help implementing it on this site, I'd be glad to. It will take like 20minutes tops.
