We have developed a spam problem on the forum. Our ISP informs me this is a sign of success, as we have enough hits and members to attract spammers.
I have been deleting and banning users as an admin as fast as I can but it taking my time and it is not going away. (Most of the spam is from Russia, and not all new members are evil-doers.
I have few choices:
1 - Appoint one or more admins who will do the job of clearing the bad guys as they pop up (or screen new members)
2 - Close the forum to new members.
3- Close the forum.
The admin job is thankless, but if we want to keep keep the forum, I will need a couple of volunteers. This is a daily chore (actually more often), so here is a solicitation. If you want the job, let me know. I will post in a couple of days what the outcome is.
I will also post this on the forum for those who do not read the main page.
