We don't know but we have been deleting them for a couple of days now. It is some kind of spam and we aren't sure how it is happening.

Until we can fix it systematically, we will just have to keep deleting them.

Sorry about the mess.

this is how a different language looks if you don't have the software to handle the language...

Pain in the butt that's what it is! I hate spammers! If you look at the posts, there is usually some real link to click on or copy paste.. don't do it, it's garbage, but they are trying to get people to go to their site.

I was off line while I was moving and my spam folder was full of these crazy things. I am happy to see the spam software is work of me. If I let it go for a few days I can have hundreds of e-mails with all the weird letters.

Please don't hit the links... who know where you'll end up or what you may see... LOL.

We are seeing what we can do to stop this.

We might have to set up the message boards so that all new registrations will have to be approved before posts go up. We are hoping the software will allow this.
