Default spam coming from this site

This is the only forum that I'm on that I get spam from. I mean 30 or more a day. Doesn't the site have filters to prevent this from happening? I get online dating, penis enlargement, and even hacked e mails out of my address book from people I know names in the address. It's a great site but if it doesn't stop I'll be forced to go elsewhere. Anyone else have this problem

I haven't had any.

I do get ones that say they're from certain sites though that aren't.

Never a issue here, I'm thinking you have another issue and Ned to further investigate

JanS, it has been checked and it is not this site. You need to do a virus sweep of your computer, you might be infected with Malware, which you can pick up any where on the web. As you can see by the responses from other members, they don't have any problems.

Just so everyone knows, every night every one of our sites, Audiokarma.org, Politicalchat.org, Airgunsforum.net, Videokarma.org and Chevelleforums.org are scanned and we are sent a report of any possible problems.

I hope you solve your problem soon.

Default Spam follow up

I unsubscribed from the forum yesterday morning and have not received another e mail on behalf of the forum with a link to pornography. Yesterday before I did this I received e mails for child pornography sites. I'm still registered and my name shows up when I click on the forum link so it looks like they have stopped. It will be interesting now to see if I get anymore after posting again. The way the e mails are addressed are with a different name everytime and saying on behalf of the Chevrolet Chevelle Forum. I could see gettting them if I used those sites but I never have.

I am dumbfounded by this JanS. If you can will you forward one of these e-mails to [email protected]. We want research this further.

Please put in the subject line, Chevelle forums spam.

Thanks, I will let you know what we find out.
