Spam Emails in Forum

[Daniel Barrera Ortega]

Hi everyone,

As you may have noticed, some spam accounts have made it into the SGSO Network Forum. They have now been deleted, reported, and blocked from this group.

For the past 10 years, new members have been asked to share their reason for joining; if none was given, we followed up or assumed the request was spam. Now, these accounts can generate emails, profile photos, and convincing responses, making them harder to spot. To address this, we’re adding stricter validation and requiring admin approval before new members can post. These changes will help keep the forum vibrant, relevant, and your inbox spam-free.

Thank you for your patience as we address this issue.

In community,
