Why are people, like this one, think that this forum is about this kind of stuff? I do take offense to stuff like this. I'll admit...I'm no saint...but this isn't the place for stuff like this. TOM...isn't there any way to stop >this?
I know RCA released some Playboy discs for the CED players...but I
feel that this comment is NOT appropriate. Sorry.

There really isn't a way to stop it, you can slow it down to an extent, but even then some stuff is going to slip through the cracks.

Just ignore it. That's really the best solution.

Spam posts to CED Forum generally have a very short lifespan, as I delete them as soon as I see them, and I visit the forum several times a week. Usually the whole topic is deleted, as that's the only way to get rid of offensive topic lines. As Captain Wrong states above, these are often Spambots that automatically try the image verification over and over again until they guess it right and can join the forum.

And there are some companies overseas that hire real people to subscribe to forums all day long and post spam messages. These companies advertise themselves as "Google Rank Improvers" because at present Google ranks sites according to how many other sites link to them. By including a link when the spammer subscribes, it looks to Google that the site being spammed is providing such a link. CED Forum would have about 10,000 members by now if I didn't clean these fake ones out every few days.

I'd be happy to help Moderate the site if you need some help. I usually check the board daily if not several times a day. Not to mention spammers really tick me off. Just thought I'd offer.
