The home page is swamped with spam and has been for hours.

They need to make all first-time posts go into a holding bin until vetted by a mod. This ought to be able to be automated, unless there is orphan code that nobody knows how to read any more.

BTW, it's Saturday.

They're normally on top of spam posts, even on saturdays, but I agree a holding area is a good idea.

"They're normally on top of spam posts"

Thanks for the compliment! Sometimes I have a life on the weekends, though. Not usually. But sometimes.

Tornado, good idea! I'm pretty sure it's been discussed and is in the pipeline of many good things we'd like to bring to CR4 in the future.

You might join the Spam Stoppers user group here. I used to be the best west coast spam interceptor, but I axed some of "ralfcis"s threads and got into trouble. They dwindled shortly, anyway, especially after Jorrie quit responding.

Yes. Some mods and Solar Eagle are in it. I may still be listed, but Savvy Exacta disabled me, wrongly in my view.

I didn't find it in the User Group Directory and a search turns up nothing by that name except for its mention here on this thread.

Not especially helpful, but thanks all the same. Given its nature I had already assumed it would be hidden.
