Hey Guys,
As announced in the forum announcement, I took some measures to reduce the amount of album spam the moderators have had to fight. It seemed there was a vulnerability in our system that allowed for spammers (bots) to be able to create an album very rapidly. I decided to implement a user restriction software that blocks users from performing certain actions before they acquire a certain post count. For now this restriction has only been applied to the creation of albums. It will now require that a member have 10 posts on the forum before they are allowed to create an album.
As I mentioned previously, the patch has only been applied to albums. If you notice that you are seeing other forms of spam, please contact me via PM to my "h2s" account and I will try to address it as soon as possible. I know the post restriction can be annoying for new members who want to contribute, but it was the only feasible solution.
A special thank you goes out from me to my moderators for taking care of the spam as it has taken in and keeping this site running smoothly. I could not do it without you guys!
