It's been looking like that almost every very early morning (US time) for the last couple of weeks.

Our moderators are owed a lotta thanks to everything cleaned out by the time most of us check it. It's gotta be frustrating.

As mentioned previously known issue.

I am working on it fellas... Essentially, I designed a spam filter a few months back that has worked remarkably well. However, seems as though they figured out my approach yet again and are able to get through. It's mostly Chinese spammers using Russian bot farms and VPNs... It might take me some time, but I will get them.

In the mean time, please report anything you see... even if you are confident it has already been reported.

We owned an IT services firm for 30 years and the last 5 became more and more difficult fighting off cyber and spam attacks, some of which was state sponsored. We didn't have the difficulty that you do, having to run an international site with members in many countries and potentially different languages, but possibly you could block certain languages or malicious code footprints.

The Moderators as well as Ryan get email notifications of the reported posts, so we do know whats coming in.. just that we're not on here 24/7
the best we can do at the moment is report spam posts and someone will get to it asap .
I'm not usually on early in the morning but later in the day and evenings. I miss most of the spam and don't have the excitement of deleting them.
again, be patient as Ryan works in the background to resolve this . He had it pretty much licked for several months but he has had to go back to the drawing board .

and, don't post in the spam threads. just hit the report tab & note them as spam
