Spam Prevention Software Issue
« on: December 07, 2012, 01:37:54 AM »

Spammers. They are the worst part of running a website that allows the world to contribute. They out number legit user registrations 30 to 1 I would guess. But keeping things nice for everyone else who posts on this forum is worth the work involved keeping spammers out. (Thanks to Harry for the help!)

Which brings me to the topic at hand…

Yesterday 5 users were converted into guests accidentally. Two of you have emailed me to get this resolved. There are a few others who I need to be restore. I will be working on this today. Please email me if your account seems to be deleted or your received an email saying you were deleted.

Don’t worry, all your posts are in place and can be recovered.

Sorry to everyone for the issues.

-John

I wanted to say a special thanks to the forum users who take the time to push the "report" button when they see spam messages.  I really appreciate your diligence.
