Somebody must have been up late or very early morning to deal with the spam which is rare because there is no spam posts present on the forum. The reason I say it is rare because the last number of times spam bots have got into the system, the posts are still on the system hours later. I know this because I start work early in the morning and when they are there I see spam posts and report them and they are still there come 10am-11am, sometimes later. This then results in members leaving posts in the forum feedback section asking why the spam posts have not bee removed. A mod then comes along and posts a message saying no one was available to remove the spam posts.
Things must have changed this time.

We're aware of the problem and have been addressing it. I deleted a lot of spam early Thanksgiving morning, another mod deleted more after I was on my way to a family gathering. Deleted some more early this morning but there's really a lot less today since the forum software is catching them automatically.
I try to report those newbies asking a simple question about their Macs, just to have a link go to a bad site.
I do see less of these posts lately so that system software seems to be working.
and
thanks!
