That update to stop this was a winner :?
It was actually. SPAM attacks on the site have now been cut by nearly 80%, and we are catching it all far earlier if it does get through.

When a forum becomes as large and successful as the TTF the chances of being attacked by spam grows because the spammers get more benefit from the high rankings in google that we have. As time goes on the spammers find ways around the changes people make to combat it and it starts appearing again. This is a vicious circle that will never go away (just like junk mail).

It is very annoying and Jae is putting together some custom code in the next version of the website that will make the TTF unique in coding terms which will hopefully flummox the automated bot spammers and eradicate it all together. Until then if I can ask that everybody reports it when they see it and we can all fight it together.
