It seems at the moment we are being hit by 2 or 3 spam posts a day with content either NSFW or riddled with malware

I will do my best to delete these as quickly as possible as this is a security breach we can do nothing about (scripts that can decipher capcha)

but please use some common sense and DO NOT CLICK THE LINKS.

Thank you

Please note: if someone sends you a PM with a link (hover mouse over, DO NOT CLICK!) thats like fmu.RU DON't CLICK.

JUST DONT CLICK a link in a pm! especially when the user name is gibberish.

COMMON SENSE people!!!! be smart!

We already use email validation and reCAPTCHA in the registration process. As far as I can tell, these accounts are being manually created by a human, and then a script is used to send out the messages.
