Sisco, I can't keep up with it. as fast as I delete, another twenty pop up.
We need to turn on Captha, OR, make is so the first posting by a new member needs moderators approval.

I have always thought that we need an approval method.
If I enter all of the email addresses of the canard people that I know and everyone else does the same, we could create a large file having ONLY canard people. :D

Waiter I finally gave up too. It got to the point that I was logging on every half hour and deleting 4-5.

Sisco;
I tried to REMOVE posts, but I get the following error
Database Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query File: /db/docroot/www.ez.org/smf/Sources/RemoveTopic.php Line: 368Database Error: MySQL server has gone away File: /db/docroot/www.ez.org/smf/Sources/Load.php Line: 2008
I tried several posts and get the same error.

I updated the database server and some other systems and it seems to be OK now. I'll get started deleting the SPAM... there must be a hundred or more in the San Diego section.

I think there may have been more than one of us deleting spam because it went real quick. Thanks for the help.

Gone for now... maybe they will stay gone. The new version of this forum software does more to fight it.
