I've removed the first-post-must-be-moderated promotion setup because it is a small factor that may cause new members to never return. The SPAM has reduced, but I still get a post in the queue once in a while. Since I've removed the moderation restriction, I would be appreciative if you could report any SPAM posts that you see so they can be promptly removed. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
I if see any spam, I will sure report it. On a side note, I dont remember if this forum uses captcha or ReCaptcha. The newer spam bots have broken the captcha phrases. So its best to use ReCaptcha.
Recaptcha worked great for a while, but I'm starting to see increases in spam again. Heck, the spammers sometimes even promoting software that breaks recaptcha! -Raymond
