    Simply put, the Industry News forum is an e-Zine constantly being updated by the RSS Robot.

      The Industry News forum didn't appear on the home page of the old site so it wasn't as noticeable,

          Still happening, just from a simple reply, no web links or attachments.

                Yes, that's still a thing. So far I have figured out that sometimes the SPAM filter does what it wants to when it wants to in an inconstant manner. (those of you with spouses or kids will understand)

                  haha^^ - I would think these post should show up in some kind of moderation-queue, perhaps with a reason why it needs approval.

                    They go into a moderation queue, most are easy to approve or delete but some of the spam can be a pain in the ass.

                      Are bots and spam still a thing after the update?

                          LOL - go for a better captcha, can you enable some sort of "Q&A" captcha for user registration?

                          Just pick a pool of "entry level" questions for our business like

                          what's the main ingredient of developer (iron)
                          what does "M" stand for in CMYK (magenta)
                          what does "O" stand for in OPC Photoconductor (organic)

                          I'd suppose this will prevent most bots and other retards from beeing able to set up an account^^
