As some of you may be aware, we've had issues recently with automated programs flooding our forums with passport/fake document scams.
In order to prevent this, we're in the process of implementing & testing a new anti-spam module for our community over the coming weeks. This module will scan posts for anything resembling spam and will hide anything that it confirms as such. If it's unsure of whether it's spam or not, it'll present you with a "CAPTCHA", where you fill in the letters/numbers presented to you and you'll be able to submit your post. It'll have an audio option to keep it accessible.
It's quite a sophisticated bit of software, and it's very rare it'll ever hide your posts. On occasion it'll present you with the "CAPTCHA" to fill in, but we imagine this won't be very often at all.
We're open to feedback about this system & if you have any issues with it, please do contact us on community.manager@nas.org.uk.
