Thank you very much dave. I am starting to hear a few reports about spam getting through. I have not really seen any here, and I am using the version currently distributed. I am not using the captcha, just the ajax security option. Will monitor the situation to see if action is required.
I remind everyone that a simple and effective way to stop a spam flood, is to temporarily block the posting of links, by adding for example "href" and/or "http" to the list of forbidden strings or HTML tags in admin/configuration, and to use the geoip feature to temporarily block a country, if required. I did not need to do that here for now.
Again, the situation is being monitored and we are ready to take action should it turn out that the ajax security is not working. However if this was the case, we should start to see some spam here, which we did not up to now.
It could be worth reminding that the anti-spam features are exactly the same in the free and enhanced versions. The only difference is that in the enhanced version you can turn on posts moderation.
To all users, thanks for reporting if you experience any spam problem so that we can take care of it.
