Spammers VS Real Members

[Bry50]

So I see that the member #'s are over 40 ,000 . How many of them are banned spammers VS real people ?
I won't go into a rant , but how iritating is this . What a waste of man power to monitor the spammers when it could be spent pursuing what we are all here for .

[Josh Gibson]

Agreed. I've often wondered how much business can anyone actually generate using that BS...I guess it works cause the darn things are all over the place.

My hat is off to the mods for their diligence and spam-busting skills. HUGE THANKS for keeping the forum so tidy, spam-free and member-friendly.

Well, I dunno, but I do know that I'm a real member. :mariole:

And to all those spammers: @#$# you all!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

It would be cool if we could have a thing before you sign up,
like a new user password or something?

I think the home front is working on this very issue. When Truefire switched to the new version of the forums a couple of months ago we got a HUGE influx of spammers. There have also been a few problems with the boards themselves, as can be expected in a large software shift. I can safely say the SWAT team is hoping for some type of solution eventually but for now...THANK-YOU for your kind words cdngord and all of y'alls concern. I also wonder what they get out of this....if I wanted a loan, free credit check, porn, viagra or any other apparently life essential items I would not go to a guitar forum

Yeah I wondered as well about the amount of listed members versus active and contributing members.

At least the spam attacks have died down a little.

Well done to the mods

The Swat guys that get rid of the spammers work hard at it and I want to thank them too. I don't get any credit because I have only banned a few. The other guys are doing all of the work.
