Well as always, every forum has spam around 9:00. All spammers should be bitten by every pokie in the world.

I wonder why they're targeting this forum so hardcore? I'm on quite a few forums, but their really loading the T forum up.

I wish I knew. I know a lot of forums have CAPTCHAs and we don't but the numbers have gone up by 4 times in the last few months.

Some forums put a lot of work into spam prevention, only you can't see it because it's behind the scenes.

Can we implement CAPTCHAs? I check tapatalk every morning and get excited when I see updated from the Tarantula forum, then I see its a bunch of spam which is disappointing.

I have asked Josh (Admin) but he's not been able to do anything.

No. There's thing called time zones. And people on the opposite side of the world have a diffenrt time. Those are the people who clear the spam. Go complain the the US Adim for being a lazy bum

I run a bunch of Wp blogs and I keep spam from bothering visitors.

I also used to help run another forum. I wasn't admin and most of what the admin/owner did to fight spam went over my head, but I do know that users were rarely if ever bothered by spam.

In comparison, I set up email notification for this forum and I have to clean up my inbox every morning. I get about ten times as much spam from this forum as I do useful emails.

So yes, spam is a problem here.

Heaven forbid we have a civil conversation. I came to this forum to learn from experienced keepers, share my Ts, and enjoy a friendly atmosphere. Thanks for bringing a dose of hostility and side order of sarcasm. Dunno who pissed in your cheerios. The spam is annoying, I don't care about supplements, cleanses, or penile enhancement, I'm here for the tarantulas. If you have an issue with people sharing their discontent with a community nuisance, go be oppressed and stifled elsewhere. Maybe if you shared more openly, you'd be a less angry individual. It's not healthy to keep things bottled up, ask the spammers, they're all about health apparently.

We were both guilty of that. I think we've all had bad days and snapped at one point or another. I certainly have many times. No hard feelings on my end, hopefully today is better than yesterday for ya.
