These folks use real live humans to create accounts. All this spam is coming from created accounts which require captcha. Then once an account is created (and verified that the email address is in fact valid) then we relent on the captcha. So our real members aren't burdened by it every time. Looks like we are going to have to re-evaluate that. For the time being I cleaned up all the garbage that has been reported. (Forgive any typos I'm on my phone)

I was JUST getting to post something about this SPAM!!! I almost didn't page through far enough to get to this post. Please, for the love of Pete, make it stop! Bob Stewart ?????

Gary Mellott - Let's hope the red emoticon stops hitting his head against the red wall. It must really hurt and be extremely frustrating.
I don't see that they have even removed the many spam Q&A I reported a couple of days ago - I would have received points if they had.
A few years ago, if they found spam comments or posts, AR would ban the IP address and shut down the offending accounts. I don't even think they have done those steps.

The past week has been ridiculous with this. AR appears to be slow in addressing...

If I remember correctly, there was a Captcha before you coult comment for a short time maybe 2 years ago?
I agree - I'm scrolling through 10-12 spams to get to one question!

This has gotten so out of control. I think there are more spam items here than real q's. About a page and a half before you get to a real user.

Gary,
There is a Captcha script. This is something they have to address among the other zillion things. A

It was really bad today with pages of the spammers. It will be necessary to put some sort of filter on it.

We had a captcha a few years ago, I would rather have the spam than having to do that for each comment and post.

That would be a fix for now, in the long run it be nice if they figure out something better to get the Spam out. It has been crazy on a daily basis this week.
