Thanks for babysitting the forums for us, Charlie! It is a big help. I haven't been here often enough to police the place

Nope. In the last week, I've deleted at least 8 spammer accounts. I just haven't gotten around to the latest one...yet.

sigh...four more. Including three using rebuild-iraq2007.com as their email domain. Pretty much all of the last dozen or so have been pushing drugs. I hope these are bots doing this, because if someone is actually wasting their time setting these up, I'd have to make a special request for the asteroid come hit us sooner rather than later.

There has got to be a better way than keeping the C*H*A*R*L*I*E-SPAM KILL BOT on full alert all the time. Can we do an approval process like we did on the Yahoo Group?

The interesting part is that they seem to come in three's. The last dozen or so have been in groups of three sharing the same email domain before moving on to a new email domain (and corresponding url).

Sounds like a triple redundancy "spambot" then, regardless keep up the good work.

I think I've switched that in the settings. I changed the email address for the admin to mine from Tyrel's so that the new account requests will come to me...I think.

We'll see how this goes, but hopefully it'll reign in the spammers, since I'm having to delete at least three a day now.

instead you'll have lotf of spam in yur e-mail

Theoretically, it'll just be new account requests from SpamBots to be deleted. Gmail has a very good spam filter, so I'm not worried about any increased influx of spam in general.
