I am sure it will get resolved soon

Do you get the same weird message on the home computer.?

Yes, same message about being a bot.  I also received the message when I tried to sign up using my work computer, and ended up having to sign up using my iPhone.

When I try to post in the office (using chrome), I get this message:

Sorry, but we think you are bot. You can not post message on this forum.

But I can post fine on the same computer with firefox.  At home, I can't post with firefox, but can post with chrome.  What am I doing wrong?

Seems most confusing.!

I think the message  refers to blocked ISP's in most cases.....

I am wondering if there would be browser settings that can be adjusted, I am no expert.

Popov will see the message and have a reply, I am sure.

There is not a lot of reasons to post url's in this forum. perhaps posts and personal details can be scanned for urls and deleted immediately.

I can see what footon means regarding that profile......

Perhaps delete any facility for url from profile and posts.

I marked as spam a new post today, new user... he posted spam even though there is a warning. I suggest spam isp's be blocked on first occurrence.

Surprise-surprise it says United States, actually it is Bangladesh, look at those titles and websites addresses, just a matter of time when it starts spamming. That user should be banned now before any spam "gets out".

EDIT: user by that IP has been marked in various blacklists as spammer, immediate action needed in my opinion.

One idea I saw - one forum site added a script to block any user whose time from registration to first post was humanly impossible, eg 500 ms, as this indicated it was a spam bot. I wonder if the spammers are real people or bots?

It seems they are people mainly, but in blacklists some IPs which are active here too are marked as spam bots.

If we delete the post........ can the administrator still ban the offender afterwards......?

Administrator can ban the authors if he knows who they are.

I usual first ban the author and after that delete him together with all his posts.

I think every forum user can report a post. Moderators can directly delete the post and eventually ban spammers.

I'm checking the forum several times daily so I can delete reported spams quickly.

What no FSB / FST forums to maintain?

Do we have to remove Market Analysis, Forex Trading and Forex Brokers forums?

Can we rename "Forex Brokers" to "Forex Brokers with Relation to FSB / FST" or something like this?

There should be a commercial section - it will help to keep the main sections clean, take that possibility away from spammers, and they'll post their s..t under FSB/FST section.

I think it may be best to ban the ISP instead of the user.....

This morning, about 40 percent of the new posts were spam.
