Some clever spam bot is managing to get past the confirmation code needed for the regsistration issues section, that is all. That is where all of the spam post have been, it is not forum wide.

There seems to be a lot of spam attacks going on. A few forums I have been on this weekend have the same.

As already said the admins are trying to get a work around for this, meanwhile the mods are deleting them as they are posted (bar the overnight ones that were deleted this morning).

We'll see how this goes, @Confused - the Q&A Captcha is available to us. I'll need to think up some decent questions

I like confuseds question

I see the spammers are still trying! I've noticed 2 new weird-ass ads appear today alone (altho they don't stay for long!)
