Wow, someone spent a lot of time cleaning out the spammers. We were at 570 members and now are at 266.....we had more spammers than users. I'm sure it took a long time to do. Good work guys, we just need to find away to keep them out.

We can thank Scott and his friend Brett for the loss of spammers. It's ridiculous how many spammers are added every day. Now that we are caught up with them we'll have to keep better tabs on it.
Thanks Scott and Brett!

Now we have 361 members !! Wow, almost a 100 new spammers in less than 5 days. These guys are horrible. I can see how hard it's going to be keeping up with them.

What I do on MN 3/S is everytime I delete a spam id, I add it's e-mail id to the banned e-mail list on the configuration page. You can use wildcards to help. I'm trying "*@*.ru" and "*@*.info" to see if I can get rid of the russian ids. I get 2 or 3 a day still on MN 3/S, but thats still too many.  later, Curt _________________  Minnesota 3/S message board: http://forums.mn3s.org/Minnesota 3/S Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Minnesota.3S/

Crap were back up to 481 members again!! Those frickin spammers sure hit our site a lot. Hard to believe that we get that many so fast. We need to figure a better way to keep them out.

As you can see, we are having major issues with spammers.
We are doing everything we can with the limited resources available to us at this time.
Hopefully this will improve.
Sorry for the inconvenience and we appreciate your patience.

A big shout-out and thank you to A-man, Matty, Curt and Brett Russell for all their help this weekend.
We should be much better off as we move forward with the system and software currently in place.
Hopefully, we can make further changes soon, as resources permit.
Best,
SJ

Congrats on cleaning out the system of spammers. We are at 272 users now, it was over 700 last week. Someone spent a lot of time cleaning this up. Kudos to you!!! Pat yourself on the back. Now get back to work.
