Re: Annoying SPAM BOTS abusing forum - action needed.
As an example, there are five new accounts posting to this thread:
And I reported them all. I reported dozens of spam posts and they are all still there...
It's obvious that Spacemushrooms doesn't monitor the forum, the single most important knowledge base for Sweet Home 3D.

The real problem is that if you don't remove those posts and spam accounts that they become 'valid' for the spammers, they prove to be working and that will attract even more spam. This all started with the Instagram adventure. So far I have seen nothing good coming from that but then I don't see what happens there because I avoid any social media like the plague.
The only thing that works against spammers is active monitoring and immediate removal of the spam accounts. If you manage to remove spam posts before they pass the search engine bots then this forum will be of no interest to spammers. And that's real easy: we report the posts and Spacemushrooms only has to follow the report mails and act on it.
You can report spam using the angry face icon at the bottom right of a post if you are logged in. That report doesn't show up in the forum so no extra attention to the spam.
It's sad that Spacemushrooms still doesn't understand the importance of this forum. Without this knowledbase and its support for users Sweet Home 3D will fail.
