Spam

[Charles Butler]

Because they are actual entries in the dictionary, I haven't seen something specific to trace them. I know that European countries are being much more diligent about blocking them. I am glad that you are putting up a "verification" field of some sort to see if we can stop them.

Stefan, Charles and everyone -I am so sad to hear this, but did you tell Steve? Maybe there is something we can do - I hope so - Steve - if you are reading this, please tell us - perhaps there is some kind of protection possible for the future?...

Hi Charles,  yes it is a real pain. I spent a lot of time to delete lots and lots of spam entries ... but keeping track day by day I hope to keep the German SignPuddles almost clean!  Do not know what kind of idiot this person may be. It is just the intention to destroy, to be negative ...I am no software expert but I do wonder if there is a chnce to identify the computer from where these spam attacks are delivered?  All the bestStefan
