<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi guys, the links section is being tapped by
spam, with a number of totally non-blender related sites being
submitted regularly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>well it has gotten to be weird.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>33% of submissions are genuine
submissions</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>33% are spam</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>about 20% are sites that don't exist or are not
blender related but are 3d related.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and 10% are professional sites.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the amount of spam and totally blender non-related
submissions is pretty crazy. (its not huge in quantity. i.e. maybe 5
e-mails total per week) but the proportion is a bit weird.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>much of the spam is webhosting companys (i.e.
resellers probably)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>any suggestions on fixing this
problem.</FONT></DIV>
