We closed this forum 18 June 2010. It has served us well since 2005 as the ALPHA forum did before it from 2002 to 2005. New discussions are ongoing at the new URL http://forum.processing.org. You'll need to sign up and get a new user account. We're sorry about that inconvenience, but we think it's better in the long run. The content on this forum will remain online.

Member Accounts Deleted - Dealing with Spam
Aug 10th, 2008, 3:05pm  
Hi all,

As many have noticed, we're developing quite a spam problem:
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=WebsiteBugs;action=display;num=1218191185

We hope to upgrade to a new version of YABB sometime soon (this week?) that will better protect us against this sort of thing. But in the meantime, I've scrubbed user accounts on the board to remove anything that can't be identified as an actual person.

We'll have to manually remove accounts and posts that contain spam for the time being, but hopefully this will help cleanup the several thousand bots that had signed up.  

This also may mean that some user accounts have been caught in the dragnet. We apologize for this, but please just sign up again and you'll be all set.
