So glad it's not. Sorry people were exposed to that - these people have no sense of worth or direction and just cause unneeded extra work for webmasters who try to have decent sites.
I have enough time spent on getting my website exposed to those who need it and don't know it exists yet  without having to deal with these type of ridiculous spammers. |
No it's definitely not allowed and it's becoming a bear to manage. What's happening is people have automated scripts that automatically post bulk spam to multiple forums all at once. Even though I have the forum set so you have to verify with a unique email address and answer my anti spam question, people are still finding ways around it.
CAPTCHA scripts (where people have to enter the random 6 letters before they register) are no longer as effective because these spam bots can read them. So I implemented yet ANOTHER anti-spam script upon registrating but they're still getting through.
I'm just sorry you guys have to be exposed to this. It's disgusting.
