I've seen it a few times. It happens here and there, but it's quickly reported and removed

There was a time when we were getting hammered with spam. I changed the registration form to prevent bots from registering and the cut it way down.

As Leathal_Traps wrote, we still do get spammers from time to time but their few and far between. And I check all posts on the forum usually 3 or 4 times a day and catch them quickly and delete the accounts.
