After about a year I am finally off of the Spam list and back in AT forums. Wow that was a long and brutal wait.

I hope it's okay to sign the spam posts.
I think the "!" tab is the right thing for it or, when I am too late for it (too much spam already), I will PM Zukero again.
So, if I found any spam ...

We have two counter-measures against spam:
- The "Stop forum spam" (SFS) extension, which checks registration against a database.
- The "Ban hammer" extension to easily ban/remove posts/report to SFS any user.
SFS allowed to cut spam by a factor 20 at least, and with ban hammer, I clean it all up quickly.
I don't think we can do much more.
I thank you all who take the time to report spam, but I'm not notified of these by email so it doesn't make the clean-up happen any faster. I'm checking the forum almost every hour in general (except when I sleep), so it should stay under control anyway.
