The Ubuntu Forums plans to start testing a IP Ban List from Stop Forum Spam today to see if will reduce the number of spammers trying to access the forums.
As with any technological solution for a social problem this will not be a perfect solution. Some legitimate forums users may accidentally get blocked. If this happens to you please email the Forums Council (ubuntu-forums-council@lists.ubuntu.com) or file a LaunchPad bug. Please include your forums username and IP address in the report.
We hope the will improve the forums experience and performance.
Cheers,
Mike aka Technoviking
