It's a real shame. Not the first time though. Our forum doesn't suffer the same because of DHH individually approving membership - a lot of extra work but it does keep us pretty much spam free - thank you Debbie!
The National Forum gets spammed occasionally so it isn't unusual.
Tis a shame, Kes (chairman) who moderates the forum says he was getting 200/300 people join a day from countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Poland etc etc all trying to spam it. Problem is going through deleting them takes time as it has to be done individually....
