Human spammers

Post by Wai »

It has come to our attention that our forum has been a target of human spammers lately. I have installed measures to keep spam bots out of the forum, but there are some desperate people hoping to spread their junk in the form of random replies with hyperlinks to potentially harmful websites. These people actually took the effort to look up the answer to the registration security question, which is something that would have otherwise kept a spam bot out.

Until further notice, the first few posts of newly registered members will need to be approved by a Crab Crew staff member before they can be viewed publicly by the rest of the members. Sorry if this causes inconvenience for some people who genuinely need help, but they can read through the Crab Care section or search the forum for answers in the meantime. I do not want the safety of the other members compromised.
