Thanks everyone for reporting this recent epidemic of spam.

I've reinstated the "antibot registration question" mod that was lost when I updated the board. hopefully that will cut it down on the processed pork product around here.

Yet more spam.

got him... Sadly, the anti-bot question doesn't do anything to bots that are already registered (as this one was, a day before I added the question.) We'll see a few more trickling in, but it looks like the deluge is stopped. for now...

Once again a pharmacy on the General Forum... Guess they want to play off the misery of those suffering in the mists... We should take the medicine and force them to come collect!!!

No one leaves Ravenloft!!! Uhmmm.... Almost no one!!!

This poster appears to be carving a speedy swathe.

This post seems innocuous enough, but it's completely irrelevant and the poster has a post count of 1. My guess is they're going to sit low for a while and then re-edit their post later to link to some promotion.

I'm honestly torn on this poster. There's just enough topicality in the posts to warrant a second look, but enough vagueness that they might just be a placeholder bot.

Joel also seems doubtful, although both of us want to be careful about offending a genuine newcomer.

Agreed. For the time being, we will give him the benefit of the doubt. Welcome, philipsteele! (unless you're a spammer).

This one is looking very dubious.

Achtung! Ich denke daß ein häßlich Spambot hat in unseren Foren gekommen! Möge es Schmach und Frösche auf seinen Namen sein.

Und ja, habe ich gesagt Frösche. (Ich bin einen Schlechtarsch.)
