The online training spam posts are ramping up. It's not as bad as the asian language spams were, but recall that some of us receive posts through email, and now it seems I have 6 emails every morning form this spam, and they are from the same small set of user names. A month ago it was maybe 2-3.
I appreciate that they are deleted quickly, maybe even manually deleted, but that doesn't help those of us who get emails of posts. Why don't we lock those user names out? It will at least slow things down. In the last 3 weeks I have gotten 54 emails from these spams, I hesitate to think what it will be in another month.
We know they are bots - why is their "right to post" valued more highly than the users who participate in the forums? I would think as soon as it is clear that a user is a bot posting spam it would be locked out - that's a lot less work than manually deleting their posts every morning, no?
I know those who receive posts by email are in the minority but we are users too and it really starts to make the desire to stay connected to the forums more problematic when our inbox has these every morning.
Thanks.
