We're seeing a bit of an increase in the amount of the undesireables registering on this forum. All of the Mods are being as diligent as we can about removing these accounts, as quickly as we are able. We generally get them removed before they have even validated their e-mail addresses with the forum software. I sift through the database at least one time, every day, to cull out the obvious clowns that are here to spam us up.

Unfortunately, we do get one or two that slip under the radar. We've got pretty good coverage of the forum, there's not many hours of the day that we don't have at least one member of the forum staff looking in on how things are going. But we simply cannot be here 24 hours each day.

We had a spammer slip through an hour or so ago and manage to get a post up on the forum. But, some sharp eyes caught it and we managed to delete the thread and the user that started it, in short order.

I would like to ask that if you see a post that is obvious spam, just ignore it. There's no need to provide any type of response to this kind of nonsense. I realize that none of us like to see it, but the fact remains that it is going to happen from time to time. We get it removed, as soon as we possibly can, so please just try to walk around it until it is removed. Responding to idiots merely validates their existence and we've really no need to do that.

Thanks for helping us out with this.
