Forums are polluted

So much spam on the site these days. it is making the site less appealing, because it is spread completely through it.

Was not always the case, now it is plagued.

What changed?

It has gotten to the point where I barely log on anymore because i cannot stand to see this once great go-to spot reduced to this.

Needs to be fixed.

Mind being more specific? Let me know what Spam you're referring to and I'll take care of it.

Looks like somebody got it. I looked at two forums yesterday and the final posts were all about writing assignments. There have been a few attacks of late, and i had not seen them occur at all even 6 months ago

we're definitely a target for spammers, spam-bots and... actual users who are idiot teens, posting submissions to Gavin Rosdale about him being gay. I mean, its entirely pissible Gavin is gay, but I'm not sure what that has to do with his Jazzmaster. Or that kid who kept posting dildos and stuff to famous artists. Its outta hand and I am wondering if we should force people to have a minimum gear IQ from building their own board ebfore they can add to pro pages and psot in the forum.
