I had to spend an inordinate amount of time this weekend checking the forum, deleting spam and banning the offenders. You just need to check the Moderators Logs to see how much activity there was, and I'm afraid this really isn't sustainable in the long run.

Can the Admin please advise what's being done in the background to deal with this?

If someone would like to bestow upon me the power of Gandalf, I will lend assistance in the efforts to smite the dreaded Spamrog.

I wonder if a Spamrog has wings? ;)

Are you also available to take on the dreaded worm Spaum?

I wonder why the sudden explosion of spam lately?
Have the C7 forums got onto some sort of hit-list of spammers?
Maybe it's been realised that it is an easy target i.e. no restrictions on joining up and easy to put their c..p onto.

Hard to imagine that it will stop by itself…. it is getting really annoying (to say the least). Not possible to have a Battle of Five Armies or Pelennor Fields to put a stop to them :x

I think we all agree that this has to stop. Let's hear what the plan is from C7?
One game to rule them all: TOR

It depends on the validity you grant to quotes from "History of Internet Middle-earth", even if they are an incomplete work.

Anyway, please declare you position on this important matter, so I can take the opposing side :P
