Spam threads
Is it normal to get so many spam threads? Me being a newbie and all, I wasn't sure. There seems to be a flurry of them at the moment.

I go through all the posts everyday and delete them. And I notice the moderators delete some before I get to them. But there is usually a few per day.

I tidy them up in the sections I moderate. We tend to get them ebbing and flowing here. Sometimes you get lots, sometimes it goes quiet.

I didn't check the forums yesterday, so I didn't delete them until today.IanBookMan wrote:looks like there's been another rash of spam'n.

Almost all the spam we get is done by bots. But the one spamming about the book is apparently a human posting the same thread all over the forum.

I noticed a little rash of them again, so I cleaned up the ones I could. Damn Spambots!
