Apr 7 New spam filter for the forums
So, like Josie said it’s been quite hectic around here lately, I really apologize for the lack of updates/participation on the forums. I did install a plug-in on the forums though, that hopefully will help with all the spam on the off-topic forum.
We’ve actually been quite lucky, as almost all of the spam somehow finds its way to that forum, and not the others. Hopefully now, there will be almost none (we can never be too sure though).
One minor consequence though, is that there is a possibility (albiet small) that your post might get flagged as spam. If that happens, just shoot us an email, and we’ll take care of it. If it does happen to anyone, afterwards I can mark your username as “trusted” and it shouldn’t happen again (fingers crossed).
All in all it should be a big help though, as we have a hard time filtering a number of usernames and posts on a daily basis.
