hackers

[Huib]

The english forums are being targeted by malicious people who hack pc's all over the world to post spam. Since the spam came from many different ip addresses it was difficult to stop. At some times 20 spam postings were placed per minute.
After 3 days and 2 nights of working I have removed well over 2000 spam postings and it looks like the extra safety features in the code stopped this hacker.

There may be more hackers who target this forum. I may be forced to close the forums for a time which may vary from minutes to a few days. Also when experimenting with new safety features some forum functions may not work.

Bear with me!

PS If you find some spam I overlooked, please, let me know.

thanks;
it seems that they have somehow copied our e-mail addresses and are sending us (at least me) spam...about 10 a day...

I get them from time to time too. Nothing like 10 per day though.
