Spam and Porn in the Forums

I want to apologize for the porn spam that has taken over our forums. I just finished clearing out all the bad posts I could. It took me over one and a half hours. Painful stuff. And the worst thing is that most of the links (or at least the few I checked) didn’t even take you to porn. False advertising.

Previously, I was spending 5-10 minutes a day clearing things out as they cropped up, but got sidetracked over the holidays and let it build up.

There has to be a better way to handle the spam in the forums. Something akin to Akismet (which prevents thousands and thousands of spam comments from appearing on the blog). I’ll be looking into this over the next few days and trying my best to keep the forums clean.

So please resume your conversations there. Thanks.
