Help stop spammers - upgrade the YE forum!
Has anyone else noticed the recent influx of auto-bots spamming the crap out of the forum? Who is in charge here? upgrade the vbulletin to a current version or switch to phpBB or something...

I'd be happy to assist but I don't even know where to start... moderators seem slow to delete or remove posts from spammers - moderating in general seems non-existent. Can anyone identify the people in charge so we can make an upgrade?

the people in charge have other businesses that take up most of their time.

They have the latest version of vbulletin uploaded.

Actually I think the newest version is vB 3.6.7-PL1 --- but I agree, they have other business to tend to. Shoot BizGuy a message David... and on top of that I think a few more moderators are needed to control all of this spam to be honest.
