will the spam be deleted, together with their user accounts? Yesterday I searched the forums for the words "stack" and "trace" and nothing but endless copies of this very same Spam-message were in the results. What about filtering them on the server, they don't seem to be very difficult to detect.

There has been a massive onslaught of spam, I deleted over 500 topics yesterday, and I just deleted another 200. I will keep deleting during the day until I have time to increase the protection tonight.
