Hehe love resurrecting old posts ....

But I logged in today and I just cleaned the threads I think on Thursday and there was 42 spam posts ? why us .... for a space station on the edge of the galaxy we sure do get a lot of attention. Its slow going with with creating conversion sql scripts to export data from wpforo to whatever platform I might pick (either flarium or phpbb) .... so I will try to keep the forums clean for everyone unless everyone likes these posts then I will keep them ? ? ? 

I used to ban the users, but I must have thousands of banned users... now I just delete the posts and clean the user table every few weeks of people that only visited once.

Spam is such a pain

Yup a definite increase in spam post since Christmas, what I don't get is that as we are an English forum why post in Chinese.

In the end its all about SEO so the more links they try to post they could get more traffic or get paid for posting links 😉 Least they don't benefit from the post since I disabled links until a user posts 5 times. Just irritating having to always clean up after them haha
