    This is the only forum I have been on...

    ...that gets so much spam on the front page. I wonder how much these people are being paid to register and do that?
    Haven't you ever seen Russian Nesting Dolls? They work like that.

                If only you could see the amount of spam we catch before the general public sees it.

                  Its annoying for sure but I know the admins are doing their best. Instead of complaining about it I usually just flag it and go on about my day.

                      Wasnt trying to make it sound like i was complaining about the site staff. Just making an observation about how much spammers like this site. Im guessing they hit it so much because of the large amount of traffic here.

                        How about not letting an account start a topic before it has X number of comments?

                          A forum I used to be on had a 'new members' forum you had to post in before you could post anywhere else. That would at least keep it consolidated.

                          I'm curious why there's so much spam though. This site has far more spam than any other I've ever been on. Do we have spam filters in the reg. process?

                            Mods, is there any way us regular folk can assist/make it easier for you guys to notice and remove the spams ?
