The forum upgrade is complete.

A new CAPTCHA system has been put into place that will hopefully cut back on the spam we've been seeing recently.

Do you mean the sales spam that keeps popping up in random posts? The upgrade must not have worked too well, 'cause we just got some more on the Music Requests forum.

Unfortunately, it only stops them from creating new accounts. Accounts that existed before the upgrade can still spam.

Can't we just delete the existing spam accounts? Or is it that we have to wait until they show their hand before we can do so?

The easiest way to detect them is through the numbers in their usernames, but some real people use those, too.
