Marty installed a spam filter and since then the spam has been reduced quite a bit.

Yeah, it's amazing how much it's dropped suddenly. Made my life a LOT easier

Marty said the first day it was in place he had around 100 emails about rejected registrations from spam users.

Not all of those got as far as posting. Gin, cday2inflorida, sweetjblue, vandagirl & WhiteRabbit were doing a great job of catching spam bots registering and reporting them before they could post. The had some pretty obvious profile details but they were registering at such high rates it was almost impossible to keep up with.

Thankfully since the change Marty made those have gone down to just a trickle (and Marty is getting emails instead, hopefully he's diverted those to a folder so he doesn't have to plow through them all!)
