Today we had our first spammer get through to the general membership. To be honest, we don't know exactly how they managed to post in scale models because they should not have been able to. We're looking into it.

Sorry about that.

The spam was from one person that had registered twice using two Used Names and email addresses from the same IP address. He then signed back on the site with a different IP address and posted 5 spam messages. I had banned his IP address and email address and provider but left him as a registered user so the new admins could see what to look for. In the meantime he posted the spam. Once he did that everything was deleted. From registration until everything was deleted was less than 15 minutes. This was a very unusual situation.
