A fairly big update just went live
-
Please let me know if you see any weirdness around the forums, Quick Answers or Article posting systems, and also if you have any issues with moderating spam. We've done a fairly major update to the spam handling system, which means it's slightly more vicious than previous. It now has a "show no mercy" mode and we're hoping it doesn't get too angry. To counter this, most of you have gained a little more protection from the spam filter. Swings and roundabouts... Good luck.
cheers Chris Maunder

I think I can see what you did. I like it.

I have not observed any weirdness in the forums. Well there is a guy ranting about the MS VPN in The Lounge... :cool: I am not sure I saw much difference in the handling of the spam wave that started Friday night (10:50 PM, US PDT). That wave was intense with a large number of new accounts each making a single post - later the accounts started doing multiple posts. As far as I can tell, all posts were caught by the spam filter, but I did notice that a few of the members were killed off right away by @OriginalGriff, @Richard-MacCutchan, @daveauld, @taditdash and myself. However, I do not see the pattern, so I am wondering if that is working as intended. Here is a sample: Member Profile[^]. I am also wondering about member profiles that look like this: Member 12808573[^] and this Member 12808567[^]. Are they gone? Did the new spam filter AI take them out?
