And again, in Style and Fashion.

Most seem to have " [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] " in the box to the left of the title.

Oops&#33;&#33;&#33;  I&#39;ve been hitting the &#39;Report&#39; on the posts.  I didn&#39;t see this thread &#39;til moments ago. Well, sorry guys for reporting them instead of posting them here.  [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]

Well, I just reported this one, but I&#39;ll say it now-Email marketing in Style and Fashion.  For the past week, the spammers have lived in S&F.  They do their spam magic late at night when not many are around.

Spam in Style & Fashion:  <a href="http://www.porthalcyon.net/community/index.php?showtopic=5650" target="_blank">http://www.porthalcyon.net/community/index...?showtopic=5650</a>

They&#39;re a lively bunch tonight over in Style & Fashion&#33;&#33;   <a href="http://www.porthalcyon.net/community/index.php?showtopic=5654" target="_blank">http://www.porthalcyon.net/community/index...?showtopic=5654</a>

JEZZIS&#33;&#33; Get rid of that revolting one-hand-mag dreck in style and fashion pronto&#33;&#33;  Some yobbos deserve a hand on the collar and the seat of the trousers for a bum&#39;s rush out of Halcyon. We have our standards.

I just love it when the spambots see the &#39;Report SPAM Here&#39; thread and they think that&#39;s where they&#39;re supposed to post the spam.  [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

There is a spam in fashion and  curiously one here also.

Now there is  one in Home and Garden.

Oh and one in fashion too.   I want to say F you to them, but feel that would only feed them.

Yeah, I&#39;ve never seen a forum with so much spam, either.  I&#39;m here, literally, several times a day, deleting it, some of it, pornographic, and with kids coming here...  I agreee that it is discouraging to members.  Undoubtedly, there are more spammers joining than actual members.  The only thing I can speculate is, they like the &#39;Invision&#39; boards.

BTW, since you posted, I found a 4th spam thread.  While the majority like Style and Fashion, there&#39;s one particular one that likes Home & Garden.

Can you make it  harder to post?  Like only let trustworthy posters in?

I just read a post by 66FordFalcon and he said this:Are the spambots able to get around a word or letters/numbers verification? I frequent several web forums that use such a verification system, and haven&#39;t seen much in the way of spam. Just a thought."

I asked another moderator from a different site he told me that this method does work, but it alos deters new members from joining because of more steps needed to take to join. 

It&#39;s just getting worse. I know I&#39;ve cleared out at least a dozen threads today.  I hate to see this happen to a site that used to be such a lively, fun and friendly place to visit, hang out and make new friends.
