Over 10 times today I had to verify my e-mail. Now I'm getting insufficient privileges to respond to threads. The latest was to Bears vets recognition post. What's going on?
 
It's not happening to me so you should be careful someone isn't trying to steal your info. I don't know if you've noticed but hundreds of "new members" join here every week. Most say from Vietnam. Usually under some company name or gambling and even sex. Should be a way to keep bots and bad actors from joining but what do I know. Anyways things like that make me feel uneasy.
 
Couple good examples here. This goes on every hour all day

Steve I don't see anything in your account that should cause this. Maybe try cleaning the cache and see if it goes away.
Jake your right about the spammers I spend a lot of time banning them and it never stops.

Well it's back again. Have prove 3 times this morning that I am NOT a robot 🤖
But I am a fan of "Lost In Space'🤣

None of that here, yet, but right now I'm up to 487 in my alerts list. New Record for me.
My Thanks to Piney for getting rid of "Ho Chi Minh" City again.
Maybe we should have buried him deeper.

Just tell them to "Didi Mao" !!!

What are these spammers seeking trying to create fake accounts here? Don't they know the info and recipes are free? :emoji_laughing:
