Hello support and any other SM Forum mods

have you seen the SM forum lately? the help section has been flooded with about 6 solid pages of spam, as well as other sections and posts have been replied to with spam also.

just to let ya know! Regards!

//edit:
Gosh, just checked - what a mess. 6 pages by now only in "help" section. And it looks, that this spam appeared just this night, so there might be either a security problem or sleepers are awaken. Sent info to moderators.

Just clicked the "!" here too on few posts, to report "spam alert", and to indicate that it might be a bigger problem soon.

Maybe they're celebrating the Monty Python reunion spam spam spam spam
seriously new membership should be suspended until its sorted

If registration of new users can't be automated (or will fail on speed rate per amount of time), then it should be easy to clean up the mess. Usually forums offer a tool (or you have to install it), that allows to remove specific users AND all their posts per one click. If you don't have such tool - you are doomed.

Glad you find it funny judging by the off topic looks like this forum could be next.

I think they can turn off new users on SM... you can't even dl program anymore so why would there be new users?

Then they need to put up a better skull-testing question up here and change it once in a while. Maybe it could rotate randomly with each registration...

Apoogies - spammers went to town over the weekend. Caught us on the hop. Should be clear now.
