We get an average of one spam post a day. Usually they are automated programs that register and then make a post. For some reason they target the fitness forum. It's probably part of the programs search criteria.

We are getting spam posts because we recently turned off the email verification feature for new member registration. There were hundreds of people who registered but didn't recieve the email verification because they had an email spam filter. Lots of complaints about that, so we turned off the verification process.

PM me and Bambam if you see anything suspicious.

Thanks,
