better spam detection.

More spam today then ever. Had to be over 100. Know you’re working on it.
Thanks

IMO, a three-day ban on new members posting is not effective. It seems that most new members are joining because they have a problem or question. Preventing these members from posting for three days either causes them to not get the help they need, or they might even go somewhere else.

My thoughts exactly.

Hey guys, @revhtree is trying some new measures to slow down spammers. Thanks for all of the patience. We're certainly aware of (and frustrated with) the issue. FWIW, the software we currently have in place is blocking about 1 spam post per minute on an average day :eek::eek::eek: ...so I know the spam that gets through is annoying...but the measures already taken are at least blocking most of it. :rolleyes::confused::mad:

I think I just reported my first one just a minute ago.
