Hey,

you've probably noticed the porn spammers have returned - and they have been up for a day now.

Is it my imagination, or is this a bigger problem with the new site as compared with the old tgplanes.com site?

Hi all

I ask you a favor: when there is such a problem, please send me a Private Message (http://warbirdsforum.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=1), as I read it almost immediatly (as Kutscha did , thanks!)

I will monitor the problem: I will take appropriate actions to prevent it if it persists.

I don't see Simon from longtimes, maybe he is busy so you must ask me for this.
Anyway, the new forum has powerful capabilities to deal with evil spammers, I can get rid of them and thier posts in seconds !

Have fun!

If you think it is bad here you should see the Yellow Banana site, http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/forumdisplay.php?f=98

This is the official site for 1C/Maddox games.

Just wondering if it is worth 'hiring' another Moderator. Maybe just for the Bar, with the sole purpose of being on 'Spam-watch'

It might not be necessary - Taglia is very prompt when alerted.

I've added some addon that asks you some human readable questions for registering and guest posting and so on ... I think spammers will be shut down outside for now ...

If you wanted an anti-spam mod I will volunteer. I used to spend a lot of time battling them on other forums...
