WTH is happening around here lately?

Systemic failures are being exploited?

It was interesting to be off doing other hobbies for a couple years then check in to find this chaos.

And it is looking like the spammers are bright enough to pick a time of day - o dark thirty and the like - where there is less likelihood of a moderator being online at the time they hit.

Most likely spambots no actual human doing those posts.

Mods, does it do any good reporting these when we see them?

No spam posts in <thunderdome> or <marketplace> . . . interesting.

Hey, models are models.

[Salamander]

No spam posts in <thunderdome> or <marketplace> . . . interesting.

Both require special permission or a minimum post count to post there?

Maybe get a moderator who+s on the old continent? My morning is your night, so I see these popping up after my morning forum check and before my afternoon check (North American morning)...

It is 926 AM here on the west coast and he's back yet again under the user name of Eddie Weern and he's posting using Russian lettering. He's been busy, 47 posts already.

I know how much folks wanted the update here on the website (and I do like the new format), but the old version of the site never had these issues. At least, I don't recall them ever being this widespread.

Is there a reason nothing has been done? There has been active posting since Friday.
