I am getting a ton of spam from this forum? Am I the only one?
Help

Hello,
 
Welcome to the Cakewalk forums!
 
You were subscribed to the entire SONAR X Series forum, which means any posts you will receive an email notification for (whether it's a spam post or not). I just unsubscribed you from this forum. You can manage this in the User Control Panel.
 
In general I make a point to only subscribe to threads that I'm involved in or take an interest in versus an entire sub forum (which will result in hundreds of emails a day). This will also keep you from getting subscription notices when spam does unfortunately get posted.

No, you're not the only one. The spam resides on the forum, and everyone sees it. It's been an ongoing issue. You can flag the posts as spam, and when they get flagged by three different members they'll be removed.

Spamalot, I've flagged 5 today.

I flagged over a dozen this morning, but at least Cake's solution of letting us flag them gets rid of them.

I just killed a bunch. 

Although I think the OP was referring to notification emails (which Ryan addressed above), I also flagged several spammers last night (two from India and one UK kitchen spammer), but I was unable to post in the X Series forum (to bump a "real" thread).  I kept getting that "Unknown Error" message.  This happened once over the weekend as well.  It continues for about an hour then something gets reset and you can post.  This behavior only happens in the X Series forum too (not just me, James got it as well).  Weird.
 
I will say that it's nice to see that the spammers don't get very far before they're nuked though!  Good job to everyone who's been helping keep the forums clean!

I got the same as craigb today, could flag spam but not make any posts myself...I think once a post has been flagged 3 times and hidden this stops me from posting?

It shouldn't (and doesn't in any of the other forums).  Just to be clear, I'm talking about posting in one of the non-spam threads just to have that topic title show on the Home page (removing the spam topic title).

Spam would disappear from this forum quicker if people would click "Flag as Spam" when they view it. There were about 10 pieces of spam last night that had around 16 viewers each, but I was only the 2nd person to flag each as spam. 
 
If you're going to take the time to open and view a spam thread, please take the time to click "Flag as Spam" while you're there, and it'll help the forum clear spam faster.
