Stop the NASCARization of road racing!

Seriously, I get like 10 emails a day on my phone about the new members.  What site is it?  And are the mods deleting the accounts?  How can we put a stop to it?  I say we do the word recognition thing to try and stop it.

Dunno what the problem is, apparently we've become more apparent for whatever reason.  Querying various databases, the majority seem to be coming from the Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania and Saudi Arabia.  I'll PM my actions to all moderators, don't want to post them publicly.

The problem is, how do we tell true spammers from someone that's just made up an off-the-wall name for themselves?  We don't want to ban or delete accounts for true members.

For all SF.com members, trust me that we're all working diligently to keep the spammers out and eliminate the unwanted posts.  If you do see anything questionable, please don't hesitate to click on the 'Report to Moderator' link below the post to let us know if something has slipped through.

Thanks - your friendly Sebring Fans Moderators.

The pay makes it worthwhile, though!    2funny 2funny 2funny

I've been getting the same thing.

Maybe it's a sign that we need to start some activity around here.

I added two questions to stop the spam bots from registering. They have to answer:

What US state is Sebring International Raceway Located?
Are you a SpamBot?


I was gonna add:
Does NASCAR suck?
Is Andy Evans an asshole?
If you register will you buy SAC-U a Beer?
 Boogie

1. Yes, NASCAR sucks Andy Evans' asshole
2. Andy Evans SUCKS!
3. SACK-U is always welcome to have a beer
