Less Spam

Looks like there has been a major victory in the fight against spam.

I've certainly noticed a significant reduction in spam arriving in my inboxes. Let's hope this is the beginning of the end for these large scale spam outlets.

I still get plenty of spam emails.

The really annoying thing is that many isp's block emails from this site, believing they are spam :angryfire:

This is very annoying as people need to click on the verification email to be able to sign in.

Quite a few of the large isp's have taken it on themselves to try and police spam- this should be illegal as many people are effected by it.
