It seems that there are a lot of spam bots infiltrating this forum. The worst is that some are pretending to be giving advices or answers to questions asked, which are completely wrong and confuse some people, that don't recognize spam bots.

It's not as bad as on some forums, given that the spam posts are removed periodically, but It would be good to look into some anti-spam feature, as it can get worse.

Right my friend, it could be worst. Implementing any measures against the bots would be great but how our friend tapper told he is blind and a captcha in example would give him problems to login.

If the forum will implement something to protect please look at something that everybody can use.

I check every few days and follow up on reports

If you see it - flag it and I'll delete the spam posts

Every time I see spam, I report it. I actively look for it so others don't have to deal with it...

its a bit out of control guys.
i really think a CAPTCHA on the registration page at the very least should be implemented.

i hate them but i think it may be a necessary evil here.
