Thank you to all who e-mailed me about a Spam message sent out earlier today by "Miss Lukov" through this board (I received one of these sent to my own account as well). Due to the high volume of e-mail, I cannot respond to everybody individually on this one.
The username/e-mail/IP address associated with this spam has been banned.

Re: Spam Message (March 8, 2009)
Unfortunately, in this instance the spammer actually manually signed up for Delica.ca in order to gain the ability to send out his spam message.
I've changed the "User Registration" settings to require a quick manual review before a user becomes registered. This creates abit of a barrier for new registrants (i.e., it may take 24 hours for them to gain access to the board, and any registrant providing only minimal details will be deleted), but this should help reduce the risk of future spammers.
