Why so much SPAM on AC lately?
I've reported at least 1 or 2 a day in the past week. Is there anyway to stop it?

Spambots are attracted by ads. The more ads, the more spam...

Re: Why so much SPAM on AC lately?
Sorry guys, I probably need to do some IP banning to cut down on it. I have some things going on at home that have kept me distracted and away a bit the past few days, but I will see if I can get back on today. Slacker no more!!

Re: Why so much SPAM on AC lately?
Are spambots and adbots computer generated? If so, can't AC implement one of those jumbled word things that you use when you register? You know the one where the letters or numbers are skewed and you have to type them in manually. I don't know anything about this stuff. Just a thought.
