We have just implemented a new spam control to help deal with the increasing levels of spam we have been experiencing. Hopefully it will stop spammers from registering but like all automated systems some will still get by. However it is a learning system so as those that get by get dealt with it should reduce even further.
This system will also check as posts are made and if it determines something is spam like it will place that post or thread into moderation, which will mean that a mod or admin will have to manually check it and approve or other wise. These moderated posts will not be visible on open forum until they have been approved. If one of you posts do disappear and you feel you are not spamming please drop the mods or admins a pm and we will do our best to deal with it as soon as possible.
It is unlikely that the new product will cause too many issues but these days forum software is quite complex so please report any odd behaviour you may expereince too.
