Spam is becoming a serious problem on many Boinc projects.
Any search, on this project, using key words like replica, viagra, cialis, pharmacy, buy, online, pills and even worse will show many spam accounts (with very often userids very close).
Thanks to erase accounts and profiles...
It would be useful to set up a captcha too.

I cannot personally say that this Project has contributed to the level of spam I receive. I saw your message the day you posted it, just didn\'t have anything to contribute.

Thanks Mikey for your answer.
But presently i\'m waiting an answer and any action from the administrators or from any people with database access.
Maybe i will get something if i put in this forum a link to a porn image ?

We have updated the server code, and now it should be more difficult to post spam. We have removed content we could find that that violates our rules.

I\'ve come across the odd profile \"User Of The Day\" where this has taken place - links to unsavory locations. Posted an objection to see what action would take place... so far nothing. I hasten to add it was not on this site.
