Title: Thanks for Reporting Spam/Problematic Posts!
Post by: Kizzie on September 20, 2018, 06:27:34 AM
Blueberry and I just wanted to thank all of you who have been reporting spam/problematic posts.  It helps us spot them more quickly and take action to keep the OOTS community spam free/safe.  :thumbup:  and  :applause:

In particular we are getting a lot of new members from Russia who are making nonsensical spam posts. For now we are removing the posts and deleting their accounts, but are also looking into how to stop them at the registration gate. For now if you do see a spam post please hit "Report to Moderator" and we'll deal with it.

Tks everyone!

There has been such a deluge of spammers and now they are getting into porn that I have had to institute a restriction to new registrations. I will now approve all accounts before the mbr can post.  Hopefully this will put an end to these spammers. 

Also I had to remove the signature feature from profiles because they were embedding links there as well.
