Moderators working overtime?
So many spammers the last while, the moderators must be very busy.

I say hat's off to the MODs for catching most of it before anyone sees it - and for cleaning up so quickly. You guys really make this place enjoyable, thank you for your selfless work.

Good point about spammers but there's not much 911 technical information in the post is there.

On my forum, I am considering banning all IP addresses outside North America... just so much spam from Russia, China, and Mexico these day. Most of it is just random ASCII characters!

It's been pretty heavy lately.
We don't catch most of them -- you posters do. Never hesitate to use that  'Report Post' button. The sooner we can make that crap disappear, the better.

Even some of our own Pelicans insist on promoting their own T-shirts and stuff. Any self promotion more than a note in the signature is SPAM.
