I don't think so,...check further down the board. I pushed down 17 spam posts. Before I started posting "...to the top" the 1st page was nearly all spam. Any newcomers would have skipped us! Its a temporary fix, but at least it buys some extra time.
So what can others do? -Simple, just post a little bit more during this crisis, while long term solutions eventually develop. Aggressive critisisms are unneeded, but offers to help by those in the know may be helpful.
