The JCE Support Forums have recently come under increasingly frequent attacks by spammers who have flooded the public forums with the usual nonsensical junk that is supposed to (in some bizarre alternate universe) convince people to click on the posted links and buy the advertised products.
Despite repeated attempts to prevent this, including implementing a Captcha challenge on new posts, blocking a range of IP Addresses used by some of the spammers and implementing Project Honeypot, the spammers seem to have found a way around these defences to continue their pointless and annoying pursuit.
In an effort to end these attacks and to provide a better support service to Subscribers, the support forums are now limited to read-only access for non-subscribers - a valid subscription will be required to post new and reply to existing topics.
