Yeah I've noticed this as well, lots of frickin spam, annoying. Sometimes they even look like decent threads.

Yep.. for some reason spam has exploded today

First of all, people should stop posting in or bumping spam threads just to say "reported"

If they're going to leave spam protection off, they're going to need to get some moderators in other parts of the world so the place doesn't go to rack and ruin when the Yanks go to bed.

Hahaha, Jackablade. Well that would have normally been me, but unfortunately I'm now in the same timezone as the "Yanks".
We do appreciate all the reports as it makes tracking down the spam posts quicker and we'll get to cleaning them as quickly as possible.

I've only noticed two spam threads so far and reported them as expected.

Jack: Spam protection is on. Now what!?

Yeah first post moderation needs to be on IMO.

I logged in this morning and it looked like one of those dead forums with nothing but spam, there were about 7 or 8 topics selling DVDs of TV shows.
