I'm sure we've all noticed the spamfest today.

Any chance we can improve the forum registration security to deal with it?

Yes, I'm sure I'm not the only one to report these losers .... I'm sure C/S will figure something out. I hate Spammers !!!!!!!!!!!

It actually does make our job as a mod worthwhile.

Since TacCom is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaally easy to moderate.

I didn't bother reporting them, figuring that plenty of other people had already. I hate spammers, too.

There is already a capatcha for registration and the messages leads me to think this is the work of human spammers rather than spam bots. Other than banning them as they show up not much that I know of can fix that.

Once you figure out how the mod controls work

L-4: Hammer's Spammers?

Yeah, the mod controls take a bit of getting used to but are fairly effective, especially now I have set up a specific group for spammers. Many thanks to all who let me know about these guys. The offending posts have been removed, and the posters thrown in the Genehost Vat. The next level of registration security requires approval of all new accounts, and I am not sure that this would have caught them either. This kind of thing is a side effect of any forum out there, and it at least means that we are growning and getting noticed. Its kind of flattering!
