    :hi-509:Hello MSFers!:hi-509:




    :help:Recently, you may have noticed so spam threads on our community. These threads contain links that may be harmful to your computer and MSF does not endorse these links, nor are we affiliated with these websites. We ask you to please avoid clicking these links, and instead press the "report post" button (triangular hazard sign) to report the post to Michelle or Myself.

    By using this button to report the post/thread, we are able to remove the spam faster, but it makes it easier to spot as sometimes we may miss it. We have also had a few spam bots register an account and then insert their links in the their "My Homepage" field. Please do not follow these links, as MySocialForum(MSF) IS NOT affiliated with these users and their sites.​

    If you have any questions, please feel free to bring them up to Michelle or Myself. Thanks for your help in battling this spam!​

    I have changed the "Human Verification" system for registering. It was before image based, but I changed it to a "question and answer" system.

    Another option we can try if this doesnt work is reCaptcha. Hopefully this will help cut down on the spam bots getting in.
