I've been receiving notifications about topics I am following and all they are is spam. Looks like the site has become a real target. Example:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4103&p=7014#p7014

Cheryl,

All cleaned up for now!

Since mid Dec, the moderators have been busy deleting such post on a daily basis.
Some days a multitude of posts are deleted from one or two "users".
Since 9:00 last night there has been a rash of spam type postings under at least 10 different user names.

The monitors as a whole visit the site at least once each day. That is the best we can do to keep the site clean.
I am not too sure of the timing of things, but often we delete them prior to a notification being automatically sent out to any one

I am subcribed to every forum to receive notification of any new post.

Cheers,
