Hi Ruben,

It is getting out of hand indeed. We are discussing measures to prevent this (verification before being allowed to enter messages is one of them).

Greetings,
Stefan

Ok good to hear. Sorry my hard reaction but im getting so sick of spyware and spam its not only getting out of hand on forums but on everything everyday im getting over 50 SPAM mails and yes i have a spam filter (the third in 1 year) but from the 100 mails it only filters out 10 or so. I deleted some important messages a while ago because I was to fast deleting 150 mails, but lucky enough I could trace them back.
1 week vacation... checking my mailbox.. way over 750 SPAM mails and only 3 normal. it took me a friggin' hour to sort the 750 emails.

It starts to reach boiling point with me there is just no way to get rid of it.

All,

We are doing the best we can to fight the spam, but we just don't "live" on this Message Board, so some of those spam messages may live for several hours before we delete them
At the moment we are considering several options to counter the spam, but without compromising the stability of the Message Board or reducing the 'user friendliness'.
Please bare with us for the time being.

If you want to discuss spam in general, please move that to the Tattle Lounge or Praethuis.

Regards,

Hans
