A note to the mods on the group. I run a forum for a small motorhome club. As it is closed to members only, I check applications to join to make sure that they are current club members.

For the last couple of days I've been getting many applications which are apparently coming from Romania, despite proposed user name like California Mike, or Latin girl - there was also a Sauron would you believe?

Don't know what is going on but I've had 9 this morning and its only 8:30 am

Forums generally are obviously a target for spammers (and worse).  >:(
