I just made my monthly visit to our much heavier populated sister-site of SimplyMaya. It appears that they're having much the same problem over there. From what I gather from the spam thread, there is going to be a software solution put in place a la the wiggly letters when signing up/posting (don't know which) but we're going to have to wait for it.
Good thing too, there's about three times as much spam these days as legitimate posts. So its still a case of watch this space, and again, thanks to the admins for dealing with the spam whenever it gets reported. They must have as much of a fun time with it as we are.
Incidentally, SimplyMaya also had some spam coming through that contained a link that was frying people's systems in one way or another. So if you do feel tempted to click on one of the spam links, its probably wisest not to. If you need to see Shakira nude or Britney's latest boob-job then google image search would probably do a better job than an untrusted link from someone you don't know.
