In the last few weeks we were under some spam attack.

As a result, all new accounts will need to be manually approved. In case your account has not been approved in a reasonable time, please contact me directly.

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks!

I've had a look, but can't find any more posts with hidden spam links.

That said, sherardson's post above looks like it was made by a spambot, mainly because it seems so utterly out of context compared to the rest of the posts in this thread. I think the idea there might have been to make an innocent post and then edit it later on to add a spam link - don't know why this hasn't happened.

So... could you take a look at it and decide if it should be deleted?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Orr, when you're doing the next round of spam deletions, could you include ashantycapre's various posts in these? Not only does the visible text appear to have originated from some sort of automatic fake forum posting generator, but if you highlight the text a spam link using white text becomes visible (as if designed to be found via a Google search, or to increase the pagerank for the site it links to, but concealed from forum moderators)

(&quot;ashantycapre&quot; has been pulling this stuntt on unity3d.com as well.)

The post above by &quot;orangewine6&quot; is another example of this.]]></description>
