While Jim and I have refrained from screening new forum subscribers as they register and simply allow the system to allow immediate forum access to new forum members, this does leave the forum open to spammers. For the time being, I simply readjust their links so they direct the user back to the YBF home page. It seems like we get a spammer registered to the site about once every couple of weeks. If the spammer pace picks up, don’t be surprised if the spammer threads are simply deleted while the spammers themselves are individually blocked from getting to the site. Once they register, their IP addresses are known which allows for some finite blocking from this end. For the time being, I’ll simply continue to modify the spammer links so they are harmless.
