    I've beefed up the registration process in order to thwart those lame spam bots we have been seeing more of. Hopefully this should help.

    Please continue to 'report post' when you do see spam. Thanks!

    Again, I will share this: to help combat spam, please DO NOT RESPOND TO THE THREADS AND DO NOT GO TO THE LINKS. Matt, and other websites, particularly forums, can add what registration procedures (captcha, e-mail confirmation, etc), but the sad fact is often times these do not work. The spammers nowadays are not bots, but real people. They are set up as pyramid schemes, kinda like old envelope-mailing schemes.
    Every response, every click on the link, counts as a hit by there schemes. Every hit increases our chances of being spammed even more. PLEASE SIMPLY REPORT THE POST AND NOTHING ELSE!
