Hi everyone,
In the last two days we have had 3 users signing up just after midnight (Santiago time) and posting spam messages during the night.
These spammers have now been deleted and the ip address of their computer banned from the forum. Even so, if nothing is done they will most likely continue this (they have thier ways..). So I have made the sign up process manual in the sense that I need to approve every new member that signs up. This will make it a bit more tedious for new members to get full access, and for me, but I think it is worth the extra work. We cannot have it continue like this.
It seems like they have left us alone for a long time.
I am sorry for all this, and I hope no one has been offended. I will do what I can to avoid that this happens again.
