There is nobody who can contact the Cas@Home administrator to stop the spam on forum?

Private Message Lihaibo or Wenjing Wu?

PS: I emailed David about it as well, maybe that he can advise the people there on how to set up defenses against spammers.

Ah, that was one of the bits of advice I gave along with others in my mail to David. He may have forwarded that as advice, and until they have gotten rid of all the spam and put up some walls around their forums, it's probably for the best as well. Forums aren't of use when overrun by spammers.

Now if only they would respond to thread posts. Even being able to PM and get a response would be nice. I don't understand projects that don't want to engage their volunteers....
