Subject: Spammers on the boards

We've been getting spammed on several of the S&S boards...boo, hiss. To let you know, these are the actions I take when spammers show up:

1. Report the spam to Voy.
2. Delete the spam message(s).
3. Ban the posting address from viewing/posting on our boards.
4. Enable "captchas" for those not logged on to Voy.

If you have to enter a captcha to post on one of our boards, that is the reason. If you see spam on any S&S board, please let me know, you can use the "Contact Forum Admin" link above (I don't visit every board every day).

If spamming somehow continues after step 4, I will activate captchas for all posts. After some time passes, I can remove the captchas and see if the spammers come back.

Sorry for the inconvenience, such is the cost of "freedom."
