    Default Spammers On the Loose

    Had quite a few Spammers lately. If you see a Spam post (usually a bunch of gibberish that makes absolutely no sense) at the bottom of each post is a triangle with an exclamation point in it. If you click that triangle that sends us an email and we can delete the post and ban the poster. Had to Zap two this morning. I can't imagine they ever sell anything with these tactics but I guess all they have is time.

    Steve,
    Can you change anything with the website login process to stop spammers?
    Like prompt new posters to answer a question that will only be known by owners of Piper aircraft?
    For example "What is the common name for a PA15?" etc.

    Sorry, that was me... (Yes, I speak Chinese.) Thought I'd see what would happen, just for sh#@$s & grins.


    ...And for those who are interested, I asked, "Who are you? What are you doing??"

    We have aviation related questions, I will discuss with SJ. It has gotten worse lately.
