I get up this morning and alomost every section is filled with **** with pictures and links. I reported some of it, not sure what is happening. This needs to be fixed. I have a child who loves to looks at Jeeps. Please fix this.

Thanks XJ. We appreciate it.

Leave it to the **** industry to figure out how to get through all the verification systems.

Okay...I've added a logic question to the registration. So, I hope that will help.

Thanks everyone for helping out and I apologize for the members that might have stumbled across this junk.

XJ....are they still trying to sign up?

I'm hoping the logic question will stop them.

Havnt seen another in the last 30 or so min so They may have stopped or you have prevented them either way great job reacting. Maybe if this stay under control for a month or so we can loosen the requirements a lil so we don't scare away new valid users.

I agree.

The logic question is pretty easy, so I'm hoping it won't cause any problems with people who want to sign up.

I'm sorry guys, I've been running sites like this for 5 years now and I've never seen anything like this. All my sites had about 40 new spammers sign up overnight. Only a few posted messages but it's still a lot to clean up.

Hopefully we can prevent this in the future.

Thanks.
