Sorry for being sensitive, Philippe. I get a lot of people complaining to me about getting spam, usually some time after it has been dealt with. Often it comes with a comment like "I have never been subjected to anything like this before" which puts me on the defensive. Thanks for letting me know. Keith
Philippe, There is no way of stopping spam without moderating all posts to the OAC, which would hardly be "open" and a lot of work. This spammer was identified and banned within minutes of posting what you found in your email inbox. We deleted their posts, but we cannot reach your inbox. Spam constitutes 80% of all messages on the internet. If you want to avoid it altogether, I guess you will have to withdraw from social sites like this one. In the meantime we and the Ning administrators do our best by pooling information on spam. Keith
