You are not alone my friend, we are three TUTSkateers. Cheesy

PS: When is a spam not a spam? What about David and his t-shirt site?

I don't want to start getting paranoid. Cheesy

Yep, three over-worked mods...  Wink
But again nothing to delete today - maybe early bird Mrs F has done work already.  Smiley

Hopefully,

we are spam-free from now on.
I just installed a new visual verification-system for the forum-registration.
This should be able to stop the spam!  Grin

Let's see...

IT'S FAILED.

I will no longer be able to report SPAM to the Mods as this involves opening quite obvious spam messages to get to the report button.
 I don't want to see any squirting man-fat thank you very much.

It's okay DJ, anytime I get online I'll check the TV Forum first, so I'll see if there's spam.

Nope, it hasn't.
Fact is the newest user did get registered yesterday night just before Klaus installed the new thingy.
All spam since then must have been done by users registered before that time (logically), i.e. I think it works, it prevents new spammers from registering. All we (I) have to do now is report the profiles of spammers to Klaus, who will eliminate them. We should have a lot less spam in the foreseeable future.  Smiley

Really an attack...
But thank gawd, they all registered before I installed the spam-blocker.
So, we are still safe.
