For those that watch the RCA Forum - IT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, BE CAREFUL. I have talked to John Dougan.

John called me back, he got all the unwanted/unneeded/spam messages erased. He's just not sure how admin can stop these. It seems this person/bot gets banned and then comes back with a new url and keeps doing it.

Good morning Guys,

Don't panic, the RCA forum has NOT been COMPROMISD. Every day posts come in from all over the world, mostly Eastern Europe. Most are advertisements soliciting business. I'm sure there is a paid service somewhere that distributes the ads, automatically generated to websites around the world. It is relatively easy to delete them, it's just aggravating and time consuming. There are usually 25-60 per day and the first thing I do every morning is clear them out. Had 185 posts a few days ago, mostly by the same guy. Our Administrator says there is no way to block these guys out. Anyway, we are OK.

Regards, John
