We are starting to get SPAM on the forum!
We are starting to get SPAM on the forum!
I noticed last night, we are starting to get SPAM on the forum. How can we get ahold of the moderators so they can help?

I don't know... Let's hope it was just a Markus Winkelhock event 
(really hope it doesn't continue, this forum is such a relief from the wider internet, for that matter)

Hi, guys!
Like I said to some of you who reached out to me via private messages, I have not admin powers, so I can't add moderators or fix some other stuff (like, right now the forum stopped sending me emails so I don't know when it gets a spammer or when someone messages me, etc).
I tried to contact both HF and AAS last year to try and fix this and add more moderators, but I've got no response.
Usually, when a new account is created, the forum requires approval for its 3 first messages before the account can post freely. Unfortunately, that spam we got recently came from one already approved account (the user probably got some virus in their computer, since it was from a real user account). For such cases, the only sollution is to delete the spam fast, but right now I can't check the forums that regularly. So I gave my personal email address to some of you so you can let me know of any problems. Al least for now that's all we can do.
