I will keep a look out Dave. Although we haven't seems to have anything like that going on in the Sempervivum Forum.

I just uploaded my code that restricts new members. People who have an account less than a week old may now only start one new thread during each 24 hour period. Once the week is past, the restriction is lifted on their account.

Spam will be harder to notice now since they can only post one spam per account. Please by vigilant to click the report icon for any spams you see.

It's possible that they will move on to post their spams as replies to existing threads. If they do that, I will extend the restriction to include replies.

It's also possible that they will figure out to signup and then wait a while before the restriction is lifted. If they do that, then I will further update the code to include a daily limit until a certain number of successful un-flagged posts are made under their account.

I love this site. I am here each day. Hate to see people trying to spoil it for us that enjoy the site the way it was meant to be.

Don't do Facebook or anything like that so this is my Social Media. Come here and talk about our gardens. Best ever!!

They are also hacking into many websites. There is a real surge into even church websites.

I don't think it's hacking, Lynn. They legitimately join groups and then let loose with the spam.

I'm sorry, I meant that hacking is also on the rise. Hacking into websites and causing all kinds of havoc.
Not the same thing as span, but more destructive.
