seems we are the latest victim of spam with at least 4 posts in the past few days in the Albatross Airlines forum
all seem to be made by guests
Hope to see a fix when the admins have time
EDIT: I have logged out and checked all other areas for possable problems the only other area I can find is the skylines catagory allows guests to post

Re: spam
I am starting to wonder if this spam problem is going to end anytime soon as it seems little or no effort has been made to resolve this i the simple task of deleting posts and revoving guest posting rights in the relevent forums

Re: spam
These are real people putting in applications and then spamming. All we can do is ban them and their IP, however we have to be careful as when we ban an IP, many people use dynamic IP's so we have to be careful that we don't then make others unable to access the forum.
As it is, Albatross is a defunct VA, so their forum needed to be deleted anyway.
