Looks like we got a spammer in the house this morning...or last night....
Maybe the mods will jump on it post haste.
Almost 4 full pages.... man that musta took him some time... I'll bet the mods delete it in 1/10th the time it took him to post it.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I thought you need to open it to notify moderator, which I did,
I did see two of those posts and notified moderator. After I did the first one, there were three of it.
If you want to notify moderator you have to open it, click notify, and learn that somebody already has been faster.
A flag of some kind would be nice so one could see in the post list that mods have already been informed.

That's a good idea about the flag. Like you, I opened one and notified the moderator, to ensure it had been done.
I prefer the system used over on the Cakewalk (SONAR) forum. If three forum users flag a post, it gets removed for review. Nonsense doesn't last long. Of course, it still takes a moderator to block spam like today's when it comes in such huge volume.

Or a preventative measure such as Capcha.

Yes I went to post something last night and saw them, 47 post I think there was in it's profile. Yes the first thing I thought was "Capcha" but unless it is happening more often it might be an inconvenience ?

Sure, I'll support a Capcha. Something to help.

Capcha doesnt work - at least not here - OR that PG dont mind or care. Look occasionally at the New Members list for instance - lots and lots and lots of Spam "Chinese Doctors" come on there on an almost daily basis with names like "frmszl297453" and so on. I have mentioned it to PG a few times but only got a "so what?" response. Capcha is poor - PG need a much better way of killing Spam.

CAPCHA can be a problem. The spam-bots have figured out the easy ones and the ones they haven't cracked yet are ones that humans can't always read.
I saw the multiple spams, and saw that there were a lot of views already, so I figured the moderators were notified and I didn't join the party.
The moderators do a great job on this board, that doesn't happen often, and when it does, they get on it.
I've been on posts where you can't make posts quickly - usually a 15 to 30 second delay between posts. This would keep a spam flood to a minimum, but can also be an inconvenience for the legit posters.
Thank you to the moderators for cleaning up the mess.

Google imagetyperz
Then ask me again about captchas
I'd venture to say that removing the posts was probably more labor intensive than posting them. Bots do what they do with very little labor once launched. Moderators have to clean up after all of them.
It does take a bit of effort from PGMusic to keep the forum as nice as it is, and I commend them for this.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
