We have always been a target for spam bots, but this last month we have had thousands. This is why we have a double registration check for new members. I know it is a nuisance, but it keeps the boards safe.

Here are some examples from today:

Don't know how much time you send on this Eddie but thanks! They are pests and to come on here and not be bombarded by their rubbish keeps us on here.

Most of it is automatic now, but it is still a nuisance

Are these people looking to use the site for advertising purposes? If so, what would they be advertising?

[Eddie]

They want to drop links, usually to dodgy sites
