Back in high school (in the early 50s), we played soccer in gym class for a couple of weeks. My impression: that's a lot of work for one lousy point!

Kathy,

Maybe, like on some other forums, the first couple of new posts that a newbie generates have to be approved before being visible publicly?

My 2 cents... these spammers really go hog-wild on weekends, as if they know it's not monitored then. Is there any way one of our EB moderators could check in over the weekends to put a stop to it? I thought with all the new tweaks and filters in the EB servers, etc, that this was taken care of? Why is it that we went from never getting spam to getting flooded with the stuff?  Huh?

We do. This last guy must have had an army to do what he did, I was on it as soon as it was reported. Only once or twice did we not prevent it from happening and that was during the transition period from Paul to Charles.

I guess it's better but it still angers me, I have probably deleted 120 new memberships this week  75% pushing pills,10% other things for sale  the other 15% porn!

 Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes  OK I'll stop......................  methinks I must get carried away -- I never realized I started so many topics - if I can get DH to get that many EB's then we would be too busy to post - but then again maybe not !!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,
DL
