Medication SPAM

This morning I had 45 new emails and almost all of them were SPAM from this forum. I keep getting them. Is anyone else getting them too?

If this is a problem that we are all having, maybe Formula Pi admin can moderate the first few posts of new users until they are deemed to be legitimate users. Just a thought.

Thanks for reading my ramblings.

It's not just you :(

I know how irritating these spam messages are, I had to go through the forum and remove them this morning...

Based on the activity it seems like they have a human signing up for accounts and then a few days later they pass the login details to their spam bot.

I will be looking at the spam control settings for forum and comment posting sometime this week to try and put a stop to it. In the meantime I have removed any suspicious looking sign-ups to slow them down a bit.
