Yes, normally I have this set so that new members have to be approved before posting so I can go through it once a week or so and approve real members and delete the spammers.

Since I knew more Calgunners would be signing up tonight I removed the approval requirement so they could join and post.

Unfortunately the spammers are taking advantage of it and I get to play whack-a-mole.

Did you delete the wedding dress thread?  I wanted to see the pictures I asked for!
