I've been getting ALOT of emails from the members reporting spammers posts around the site.. to include Private Messages.
To that end - TODAY I will be installing a new hack which requires a human to respond to specific questions, identify an image, etc.. to help in curbing the tide of spam that's on military-meshes.com.
Additionally, I will be reviewing ALL spam accounts and blocking IPs for those accounts from the server.
It is my hope this will slow down or stop the spam on military-meshes.com. Please continue to report issues related to spam etc. and we will continue to respond as soon as possible to remove the offending content.
Thanks for sticking with us.. I've been offline for the holidays so I'm doing a little catch up today.

So what's a Regulator? Basically, Regulators are super-members.

In time, we would like to have a couple more Regulators on board, to help drive the forums forward, perhaps with challenges and the like.
Things have been a little quiet around here in recent times - there have been plenty of changes... [Read More]
At some point during this afternoon military-meshes.com will close for a software udpate. We fully expect this will take no longer then 10 minutes, but as with most updates there is a chance that something could go wrong. As a fail safe we will also conduct a database backup before updating the website. We appreciate you understanding an continued support.
Thanks.
Version 3.7.0 Release Candidate 2 upgrade to version 3.7.3.
