Vegas and or any controlling Admin/MOD can you please lock the members application or make it invite from current members only untill this spammer issue is solved. im finding myself reporting at least 1 spammer everytime i logg on and im not the only one. Seriously i think its an exmember with a baseball bat stuck in his/her ass fucking with us. Its getting really annoying and its fucking with the threads.

lol... not actual person... Recaptcha was hacked a couple of months back and all forums are having a problem with it... We are doing our best to catch them and you guys reporting the post has helped alot. Believe me some of the mods are hating to deal with the problem too... IMO locking down new user registration is probably the last thing we want to do because even then spammer that are actual humans can still get thru. We doing our best to combat the situation and did some behind the scene changes where testing first... if we have to we will lock down new user registration but lets see if these other options work first...

Thanks again guys and patients in dealing with these spam problems...

Is it possible that the MODs could make it to where you cant post untill you have posted in the new members forum?? That way we could filter out the spammers.

I feel like a brown noser or a pain in the ass to keep reporting them, just trying to help the forum stay clean.

It isn't being a brown noser or a PITA to report unwanted spam. Please do.

I'll help pay the bail but not traveling expenses... you need to go to either Russia, Ukraine, China, Taiwan...

Make me a mod, just for deleting spam. I'll do nothing else. I'm on here more than anyone else anyway.

That should be the new role for patrons: get rid of spam post. Deleting spammers ;however, should be left for the mods to deal with.

Haven't received a report from you since the 9th... I changed the image recognition to a more harder Q/A... these spam bots now a days are way too sophisticated... they have been going to hiring an actual human to spam too...
