    Blog section being spammed with useless information?

    I really like the way this site allows access to useful information and blogs attached to the users who contribute. However, some clown is just adding a bunch of nonsense that sounds like badly translated english ads. Something that can be done about this?

    It's called botting. You could do a captcha for blog submissions to prevent botting.

    Basically, if you see spam, just report it. Forum posts and blog posts have a report function for reporting spam, advertising, etc. They might want to consider implementing a captcha when they get tired of all the deleting.

    As for what captcha is.

    You can just click on the "Report Post" button and it will get deleted pretty quickly.
