Since the moderator approval has been removed there has been an increase on what is seen on the forum by the general public. The amount of spam in general has gone down but is on the increase again. We just reduced the chances of it being seen by the general public to zero by making new posts subject to moderation. This did however catch a lot of real people in the system.
Given I am an hour ahead of the UK, I am deleting a lot of the spam, (happy to do so too), so I can confirm that it is on the increase again. The methods are however evolving making it harder to deal with.
As forum administrator, only James can advise on how things can be improved technically and if we need to or even can implement alternative solutions to tackle the spam in an efficient manner.
