spammers

[altenbach]

I understand the complexities involving integration between newsgroups and discussion forums here, but there has to be a way to slow down serial spammers such as THIS one today who posted 44 identical messages, one to virtually every boards. Anyone care to clean up the mess? Thanks!

altenbach,

Thanks for bringing this incident to our attention. We have cleaned up this situation and are continuously working to improve our systems. Unfortunately, you are right that the system is complicated because of the integration point. Eliminating SPAM completely will be impossible, but we will investigate possible ways to slow them down.

Thanks,
Molly K.
