Patched the forums in an effort to prevent a new spam bot occurrence. It is believed that humans are registering to satisfy the reCAPTCHA requirements and then activating a "bot" to send hundreds of SPAM messages via the PM system.
If you are receiving spam messages via PM, please let me know ASAP. The patch I introduced today introduces a flood control system for PM's and it will only slow down the spam, not stop it. I will have to manually ban offenders (if there are any). Please note that the flood control for PM's will not be applied to long-term members.
Thanks guys,
