Spam posts

Is there anything that can be done about the spam posts? I don't want to have unsubscribe from emails.

We are trying but need to identify a solution. We get spammers all the time but they are inactive, they have found a hole and are starting activated now.

Gotcha. Good luck.

Would be nice to be able to sue the pants off of them and/or hit them back with all kinds of spam. :)

Unfortunately, there's no "them". It's an it. 99.9% of "problem" spam is produced by a bot. The original programmer of the bot could be anywhere, Russia, Iran, either Korea, US, anywhere, but usually out of reach by authorities.

I agree, though, but I'd want to go much further than a law suit.

Yeah, I know we can't do anything about it. But, one always thinks of things if we could. Hitting them with a ton of spam would be funny. The ultimate would be a tree and a rope. :)

I should add that the latest problem has been resolved, but it won't last. They will always find another way in. We can only do what we can do.

Have to be reactive than proactive. Just too many ways in.
