Security Verification

[JimP]

Is anyone else getting a Security Verification page when they try to access the main pages? I have gotten it a number of times after I close out my browser and then come back on. Once I had to verify that I wasn't a robot but all the other times it goes through.

Here is a screen shot of what's coming up.

Yessir.

It’s pretty common on forums, actually.
Should significantly decrease all the CBD spammer threads

 

[Colorado Cowboy]

Yep...me too. Just started this morning.

I'm on a dozen different forums and this is the only one doing it.

Hmm. None of mine are currently doing it except here

It could be as you said, something that Scott put in place to kill the spammers.

My unofficial count is that we are getting hit between 20-40 times a day by them. The last one today was around 7:30 Mountain time. But there are usually only a few that hit during the daytime hours. Tonight between 10 pm and 7am will tell if it is working.

Thanks for being so transparent with us!

Here's a screen shot of just a single forum, the Announcements one of the number of spam post that we received between 6 and 7:30 am Mountain time today. There are 4 other forums that have about the same amount.

 

[kidoggy]

yep.

Did a little research .
It seems to be a good thing:

Yes, I know: the site name and you are a match, Lou

Removing spam has become a morning ritual for me and for the other mods. It’s a pain but has to be done or there would be nothing but CBD gummies for sale here. Lol

like Jim said up to but not limited to 40 a day and most are done throughout the night.

Looks like they got thru again, more spam this morning

Yep. It won’t ever stop. We do the best we can to remove it asap.

As all have said, the Spam is there, EVERY day. I removed 2 about 5 minutes ago when I opened Eastman's this morning.

I believe that the security verification and its software will stop bots from posting.

However I believe that most of the spam being posted is by underage workers in 3 world countries.

Thank you!

Myself have removed 20 this morning. It’s a group effort!
