Last night I found that this forum was filled with messages from "party Poker" and such. It seems that someone has devised an automated way to insert messages into forums such as this one.

Previously, I attempted to filter this kind of post automatically, but as such things go, there is always a way around any kind of filter.

I hate to do it, but we may have to go to a system that many other forums use and that is to register each participant who wishes to post.

The link below is to a log of spam that was automatically removed. Barbara and I have been removing other messages by hand.

If you are one of these people that post this kind of thing, know that really, no one reads them anyway.

Please stop it.
