Heads up guys and gals.
There's a new generation of spammers. They are using virgin IP addresses and new email addresses. These do not show up at StopForumSpam or Kismet. This way they get past the Q and A and SFS doesn't find them in its database and lets them through.
I've has several get past SFS and get in to lay in wait to post something spammy. I caught one here just a bit ago and reported them.
Something members and staff need to look out for is a spammer altering a quoted post. They quote then slip a spam link in to the quote. You have to be alert and read the posts to be sure this is not happening.
Spammers have been tricky in the past and are even now getting new tricks up their sleeves.
The price of peace is eternal vigilance.
