Question

No more spam?

The Spam topic hasn't received any messages for several days, which I find unusual. Could we perhaps take this as a sign of the popularity of the new forums? Just a thought.

    This topic has been closed for replies.

    There appears to be less spam. Spammers may not have caught up with the new system. I see several spams each day via the report abuse system and I am seeing a few originals each day myself. But no wide-spread spamming yet. That being said, I'm sure we will see a few before too long. Maybe its the economy.

    Maybe its the economy.

    Maybe that's why traffic was down before the change over. Maybe no-one needed to panic and put us through all this.

    I've been reporting spam via the abuse button.

    Edit: You missed the point PJ!

    And how do you know if any action was taken?


    Anyway, after I posted my OP, I noticed that there is perhaps a better reason: spammers may not like the lightning speed of these new forums.

    Wishful thinking. Spam tend to come in waves.

    I have two email addresses one I use specially as spam catcher. Some periods I receive 100-200 spam a day. Other times i'll go for weeks with maybe 10-15 a day. and on ocassion I will either not receive any at all or just one or two.

    My Primary email addres I've noticed lately is begining to receive spam. Thank goodness for spam filtering in SeaMonkey and Thunderbird.
