the point is that this "security" program is a real pos. I can't understand what I am gaining when the "security" is this full of holes. We have routine porn ads and jibberish in other than english. But I can't get in to follow the forum I paid good money for, and and GT sticks with it. They don't even acknowledge that people are not pleased with this pia program.

I don't like captacha either but [u]I whole heartedly disagree[/u].

When the spam started showing up a few years ago I made it a point to report each to Admin as soon as I saw it. GT Admin responded with speed and appreciation, deleting the posts and banning the user that posted it. Not only was there response quick, they sent personal emails confirming their action with their thanks. I suspect I'm close to one thousand spam emails tipped off although 600 of 'em were during a fury of Vietnamese language spams that took place over a couple weeks.

GT has greatly improved the blocking of spam, whether it's been by the captacha or other security introduced. 'We' are down to less than two or three a week which is a big improvement over the same number or more that use to occur daily.

There's been a big improvement in blocking this crap and those at GT responsible for its removal and/or blocking should be thanked.

There is also, apparently, much more to be done.

p.s. When I sumitted this post captacha showed up. I timed the process and it took me an excrutiatingly slow and painful and distracting 17 seconds to complete the process.
