Did someone forget to shut the door behind them? There seems to be a whole load of spam getting in at the moment.

Yes, I wonder what's kicked that off, haven't seen anything like that for ages and ages. A long time ago since I joined this group, I can't remember whether there was any sort of security around the joining process back then, and is there now? And interesting that these latest 3 posts all timed within 6 minutes of each other.

Be aware that some of those spam poster's website links go to some very nasty places.

Yes, moderators are aware of this latest burst of activity and hope it doesn't 'snowball' any further. Registration procedures may need tightening.
