I don't think any spam is actually getting through... am I wrong? The issue is the stuff that is posted is off topic. Its not fly by night posters... some of the people are "regulars", I just think the point of the comment section is being missed and that the forum section is being wasted.
I want figure out a way to convey this message and point people to the light that is these forums. People would certainly get a much better response to some of their questions/points if they were made in a more focused manner here on the forums.
Like I said, I don't want to shove anything down anyone's throats... I want them to want to do it.
