An open discussion about links to the other forum

 

I find it interesting that you say in one post that if the spam continues you will start using the owner's forum, then in another post make a claim that someone on  the owner's forum is trying to kill this one.  Its hard to reconcile the two positions.  As a mod you should be the last person making either statement.  Take pride in your moderator position and stick around to fix the problem instead of saying you are going to jump ship, and also be professional in your moderator position and don't make nasty accusations.  And no, nobody from  the owner's forum is over here trying to sabotage this forum. 

 

As others have posted (and they know this because I openly posted about it on the owner's forum - we are very open "over there"), the spammers have figured out how to get around the Captcha challenge during the account creation process, so they've been signing up for tons of accounts.  The reason you don't see any spam on the owner's forum is because every day I've been personally verifying each new account before approving it which prevents 99% of the spam before it even starts.  Then when spam does appear the admins jump on it right away to kill it.  The spam that is, on our site.  Not this one.
