If you see a spam post on the forum, please do not reply to it. Replying to a spam post is one mechanism the spam bots/scripts/etc are alerted that their spamming was successful. A successful spam bot is likely to spam again as has been the case recently.
Spam posts are really easy to identify since they fall into one or more of these categories:
- new user
username is entirely random
the language is either not English or not in a Latin typeset (usually displayed as a series of random characters)
the post says "Hack Again!?", "MESSAGE", or references XRummer (a spamming tool)
the post is on a topic completely unrelated to JFreeChart
the post is offering porn, financial advice, services, etc
the post provides contact information
