nobody caught the improper speeling of acronym - or at least wanted to jump on me for it....
I get a lot spam, too. Most gets filtered out before I even see it, so I don't really have a count on it.
I, too, noticed the large number of obviously phoney users in the list of this forum, but, unlike the Dutch forum, it has not had any consequences yet.
At the Dutch forum, every rubric was receiving several porn messages every day. It was not possible or at least usless to try to use the forum normally because one was forced to delete each and every spam individually every day to find any possibly useful information. AS I said, the admin was forced to shut down for a week and manually go thru everything.
The German Skorpion forum is completely open.

No registration is necessary and anyone can post to it. Most members use their email address or their own name since no handle is required.
There is absolutely no porn or spam at that forum.
Wonder why?
no smileys and other stupid stuff either.
