Over the last few days or so, the signal to noise ratio on m-m's forums has fallen from extremely good to appalling. I visit most days and respond to posts that I can help out with, but it's hard to find a real post amongst all the rubbish.

Clearly, m-m needs to either institute a more efficient clean-up system (eg a spam filter instead of a real person) or make registering to post much more difficult.

Come on m-m, If you don't fix this then new users and prospective purchasers are going to be put off m-m's productws before they can get past the learning curve.

Maybe all this spam is coming from a disgruntled MM owner and there is a lot of them out there.

The security protocols we already have in place mean that each 'spam bot' account needs to be manually created by a real person.
Without going back to having all accounts admin activated and all posts 100% moderated there is no way round this.

I have been through this morning and deleted all the 'spam bot' accounts and posts.

Thanks
