Spammers are busy

Maybe this is spam: a post about spam!!

I wonder why the outburst of spam over the past few days?  Nasty little critters.  As usual, I wonder what they get out of it.  Hopefully there are more of us than there are of them and we can do our reporting stuff even quicker before the 30 minutes . . .

Thanks to the spam-deleters behind the scenes.

A big thank you to everyone for reporting spam. It enables us to quickly clean up the spam and block the spammer's account. We also try and spot patterns in spammer behaviour and set rules to prevent further spam being deposited.
