Effective today, I have taken a proactive stance against spam by scrambling the "P" word.
Every forum requires some spam exterminating but anything we can do to help prevent it is quite smart in my opinion.
We are presently voting on a new word for the juicy, mouth watering pics that we love so much but until then we will replace the "p" word with a series of ******.
If you see your post and it is scrambled, feel free to edit it to something different, however this is being scrambled on the fly by the system automatically and not actually deleted.
Once we decide on a proper name for our "food pics", I will try to do a major replace function on the entire database so that wherever the "P" word shows up it will be replaced permanently by the new name.
Please do not take offense to this.. it is something I wish we did not have to worry about. Unfortunately, based on my research and the other moderators research, it is definitely hurting us by sending in spammers who find us in the search engines in places that we should not be.
Thanks for all of you help with this
