I can't believe the childishness, immaturity, and pure stupidity in what it going on with the spammers suddenly (is Wikipedia clowns involved in this?); this is not the only site that is getting this crap either.

If I didn't know better I would think it was coming from an environmental group but they don’t seem to be after the off-roaders and racers only. If they are trying to sell something, do they really expect someone to use their products after this?

I think someone’s parents played “whoops-a-baby” with them a couple times too many.

It always seems to come in waves. What you're seeing is mostly spambots. Maybe generated by just one person. You don't see most of them. Most register, but can't manage to post. Some get through. I catch 99.9% and delete them. The really hard ones are ones that register and then come back and post with the accounts a few days later. Basically, impossible to catch until they post and are reported. I do what I can.

Spammers suck.

Correction, I can't edit this but I meant to say wikileaks not wikipedia. Sorry Wikipedia!
