Yeah,
The SPAM filter is blocking us known forum members, but lets the SPAMMERS just go head and post they're garbage.
:roll:

The vetting system needs to be reworked to stop these SPAMMERS from so easily getting on to the website. :x

I'm working with what I've got on my end. I've gone over the ban list and maybe one of them happened to bot from your system (it can happen). So I've made a change in some of the status' and we'll see. Ther may be a slight uptick in junk coming through, but I'll work with that as it is. As far as SpamHaus goes, I have nothing to do with it (AFAIK).
Hey, what do I know?

I'm beginning to think Markkim is a spammer. He never responds to requests for details, and the links he includes like reference material have price lists at bottom. I don't feel strong enough about it to click [ ! ] button.

The thought has crossed my mind more than once. I have an idea. Patience please.

I posted a vetting idea several timed, seemingly to deaf ears. Maybe now it will be looked at as an option

That, unfortunately, is out of my hands.

RE: SpamHaus
I just got told that I have 1 issue, but it says it is controlled by the ISP, not N&V. And it concentrates on email servers. Interesting, since all email I use here is web based. Now I have to go through ALL connected devices. Ugh.

I think you may be on to something dyarker.
I looked through all the postings of Markkim.
In every one of them, they have some link to apogeeweb.net, or kynix.com.

Hmmm...........

But are the links in each of her postings going to the same site all the time?

I'll start scrutinizing her postings, and see if the links all go to only one or two sites.

Edit:
Carmelita's postings that I have looked at, don't have links in them that are the same.
{Unless CeaSar, or Sean had gone through and removed the embedded links from the posts already.}

Nope, not me. I am looking at more and more as I have time.

Again, I got blocked.

After I went to http://www.spamhaus.org
Then I could post.
{After I refreshed the page}
I wonder If my NoScript Runner is effecting it?

I do not have NoScript Runner, and get blocked once of every 4th or 5th time I try to post.

Like I said earlier, that site is being used by the ISPs and I haven't found a reason why it only seems to affect this site. I'll keep digging.
