Doing our best to keep on top of it!
Thanks for helping out mods - it seems to pick up one day then stop all together for a while :/

Hey guys,
I stumbled across what appears to be spam dropped into the comments of this project:

this time they are more clever: They copy arbitray text from xcore to link their sites:

They're getting cheeky. Though I can't help but feel it's only a few guys.
I'm on the site nearly constantly and they seem to strike when I am online so hopefully they'll give up eventually.
Everyone is smart enough to realise they're spammers.
Deleted posts and removed user accounts :)

Yeah ... idem for the posts I deleted, they had some text from true posts.

Isn't it perhaps cheaper to implement us a 'mark as spam' button. So you can concentrate on surfing on and we can simply mark the spam when we see it - so that you can delete it after your lunch break and throw those users out.
