Pure spam.

Same spam with same username on dozens of other forums also....duh

Please don't misread this as I greatly appreciate the forum and what it has to offer, and the occasional spam here bothers me none.

You'd think spam controls would catch such things. In fact, you'd think you would be able to queue, or HOLD, any/all first post for review. Most all "spam" I've seen here is at the hands of first posters.

If you look at the bottom of the page:

"Bad Behavior has blocked 1395 access attempts in the last 7 days."

The automated software is dumping a LOT of garbage...

But it's not foolproof....

I wonder how long it will take Jason to figure out he is not as anonymous as he thinks on the internet....

You guys also don't see the numerous guest posts almost daily that are pure spam. They are flagged and not visible until I am alerted and take action to allow or delete them.
Tool Talk is running free software that doesn't offer highly sophisticated spam control. I am the spam deleter if it gets by what controls the software has. Luckily Tool Talk is small enough that I can handle most of it. Also lucky that I have plenty of time to be on the forum, both at home and at work.

I appreciate every one I don't see. I'm not shocked there is a good bit of work behind the scenes - never seen. Thanks for that!
