Technical questions about the site

I'll look into a minimum post before links answer. I'll also talk to my son, who runs the server side to see if he can help. In the interim, I just keep deleting the posts and banning the person.

There is a spam post in your collection page.

Dumb question, but would it maybe be possible for Jerome to send a global private message / email to all of the members and mention the fundraiser?
It's possible there is a lot of inactive users, but it may remind them of the board and/or incitate them to make a donation

If I sent a Global email, I would get in trouble for flooding the servers with 10's of thousands of emails.

There is a lot of spam since a week or two.
Mostly in the collection threads.
I keep reporting like 4-5 a day

Any chance there is an option to block new members to post external links, if they dont have like... i dont know, 5 or 10 previous messages?

That's a good idea.
Looking right now, there are 16 users logged into the forums and at least 7 of them are obvious spam accounts that were just created.
The collecting threads have been getting hit with spam posts in the last few minutes from one of them. (I flagged some of them already)

Twice a day I look for new members and ban obvious spam accounts before they have ever posted.
I probably block 20 spammers a day before they even have a chance to post/spam.

I thought the yellow background was bad but this green background with brown letters makes posts nearly impossible to read.

I'm guessing it's an April Fool's joke, and will revert to normal tomorrow. Good one, Mr. Flagg!

One of those days when I'm glad I'm colorblind...
