Spammers

pente.org forums are being abused by spammers at the moment.
all messages posted will go through moderation before showing up on the site.
also if you use a weak password on pente.org you should update it. if the spammers are able to crack (guess) your password and they use your account to spam, your account will probably be removed.

Is that what happened here? a hacked account? It sucks to not be able to post messages without approval but I get it...if that's the only way to beat those dumbasses at the spam game then that's what has to be done.
is this going to be permanent change to the posting process you think?
thanks for stepping in and getting it under control though Peter. I know you're split in many directions these days and spare time for pente issues isn't what it once was for you.

I think perhaps the spammers are gone, or are no longer able to post. I removed all the spams but i'm leaving moderation on for a bit longer just to be sure.

I think this issue has been resolved for now. A number of accounts were "hacked", probably those which used simple passwords. Those accounts have all been marked inactive.
Moderation is off so your posts should go through immediately.
