It seems like that there has been a lot of spam posts recently.
When I looked at my 'View new posts', the 6 things I saw were all spam. Majority of spam seems to be in the Derelict section.
I can't remember now, but do you have to do any sort of verification for registering? Captcha, e-mail verification, etc. If not, there should be. |

I found one user, three posts, all in Bindings project. Hardly a lot of spam. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. We do have a captcha, but I appreciate the heads-up (emails to admin@dsource.org work, too).

I've noticed that the spammers typically add 5 or 6 junk posts at a time. I watch the RSS feed for new forum posts activity. When I suddenly see 5 posts for Mango, DSP, or Bindings, that usually means it's spam. I zap them as quickly as I can, but sometimes I don't notice the problem for a few days. |

These spammers certainly are persistent.
I think I deleted all of the spam that you've pointed out. Unfortunately, I know some of the spammers will be back. If you want to continue notifying me about the spammers in this thread, it'll now send me an e-mail when a new message is added to this thread.
I'll try to get to them faster in the future. Thanks for bringing the spam to my attention. |

I agree that's spam. That "member" and that post were deleted. |
