Looks like orbasoft has infected technibble. This should not be allowed or possible.

Bryce should really disallow new users from creating new threads until their post count is 100 or something reasonable.

That's not really an infection. I see infected servers or accounts and this is more of a spammer which can just be disabled or change a setting on the posting requirements and that would eliminate this problem.

I did not mean infected like in a virus, just someone trying to sell stuff on the forum. If I wanted to waste my time filtering through spam, I can do that anyplace. I am new here and did not think this was allowed. What with all the recient post about qualifications and stuff.

Already nailed it. They hit the front page comments too but the spam filter got most of it. It was up for less than half an hour.

That really is a double edged sword... Sure it can help eliminate spam, but then there would be frivolous posts from legitimate users trying to get their post count up to be able to create threads. Look at my profile... I am nowhere near 100 posts, and I have still contributed to the community.

I agree, at 100 posts it is going to turn into nothing but random posts to up the post count, or serious thread hi-jacking so people can get there questions in. I can see something like 10-20, but 100 is a little much.
