influx of spammers
Spammers are joining in record numbers. I banned 16 members in the last two weeks. Most of them with IP addresses from Romania. I can not be on here a lot since I work all the time, but if you see spammers please report the post. Then I will get a notification and try to jump on real quick and get rid of them before they make a bunch of post.

Thanks for watching out for the forum! All these years I think we just took the housekeeping for granted. Mike left a big void, he is missed.Boss/Cyclone wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:08 pmYes, at the top of ever post is a row of boxes, click on the exclamation mark and I will get a notification.

Mike stopped checking in for 4 or 5 years while I did almost everything from like 2011-2015. Then when he returned in the Fall of 2015 I got busy with life and stopped coming around myself. My kids are all grown now so I should be able to be around again.

Re: influx of spammers
I have now taken an offensive position. In the last day we had 4 new members join. I banned 3 of them immediately. The 3 banned were from Romania and Honduras. They set up an account with signatures full of links. I believe that is enough to ban them, no need to wait for a post. If they really were interested in Comets they should not put all those links in their signature.
