Already pinged messages - pingbacks
Folks, our forum has been invaded by spammers, Alessia and I have been deleting enormous amounts of spam posts for the last few days.
The Ping notices are from spammers associating their products with our site.
I just deleted a huge slew of pingback links, and will continue to do so until we get the spam blocked.
To ease your concerns, the spam is generated by a script (software) and no one is reading your posts or profiles, all this script is doing is generating posts that are advertisements for products and services.
Again, I cannot stress enough, this is a software attack, NOT human. Spam "bots" are writing advertisements to the forum and nothing else. All other security is still in effect.
