I'm really happy to announce that we've fixed the spam issue!

From now on, new users will be put in the "Newly registered members" group, which means that their posts will be filtered and sent to the mod queue for approval.

Once a user has 1 approved post, they will be moved to the "Members" group, where their posts will no longer be filtered.

This means that if a member is a spammer, we will remove them before they are ever seen by the public.

Cheers,
Capt & Mod team

PS: Thanks for all the post reports etc which were really helpful in fighting the spam

Haha, I was thinking about that! Technically, they could pretend to be real members for 1 post, then start spamming. I don't think the bots are smart enough for that though ;)

Anyone else still waiting on their Viagra pills from the nice fella who left a link not so long ago?
