I just want to say that I am very happy that the forum is so amazingly 'clean', though I don't know how many registered users we really are. I am certain you can keep the barbarian hordes out.

Keep up the good work! :-)

Yes, I've noticed one or two in the queue and have killed them. It'll always be a continually escalating arms race, let's hope we can stay on top...

I deleted a bunch of 4 spam submissions yesterday, and several others in the last couple of weeks.

Just wanted to chime in that y'all are doing a great job! Thanks for your efforts in making this one of my favorite stops each morning.

I've seen some spam attempts but the only option is just to delete it, no option to delete the actual signup name or IP number (or I am missing seeing it).

Sorry, I haven't made a user interface for deleting users yet.

OK, there is now a "Delete this user" button if you click on the user's name. You have to be an "admin" to see that button, the 16 current editors got promoted to "admin" for now.
