I noticed that Richard Orchard had removed his posts on how to post a torrent in the Announce section.

If it keeps getting three pages of spam posts, it will die. The sad thing is that it's relatively easy to prevent spam. And if Richard is paying for the hosting and bandwidth, he might as well do something (maybe he is looking into it already), or else he'd be paying for nothing.

At least one of the spambots has a profile picture - not sure if that was done automatically....

The General Discussion forum is witnessing the brunt of it all. It's not usual spam though - there's too much of it. It's akin to a DoS.

Wow. Five and a half pages of spam in a few days. I just figured someone would take care of it like usual. Though a captcha would be annoying for every post at least it'd prevent this kinda bombardment. Ugly stuff.
