What is going on with the Asian characters. Don't these spammers at least realize this site is for travelers who are not fluent in whatever language it is (Chinese, Korean, ....)?

It has gotten out of hand.

The point of the thread is what?

Have you noticed this has been happening for months?

Not really news.

Pretend you're British - Keep Calm and Carry On.

It's worse than ever, especially for those of us in Europe, where it dominates the board for about 12 hours a day. But really, who cares? It frees me up to do other, actually useful, stuff.

Yep. Same for me DtCirq.
Esp for a sunny day with close to 20 c.

Here is a potential interview between fodors management and IT guy.
- mgt : hey it is costing a lot to remove these spams.
- IT : yes. But we are unable to filter them.
- mgt : find a way.
Then.
- mgt : does it work ?
- iT : no. But since you removed the mods during half a day we are saving money.
- mgt : great - so what is your problem noW ?
- IT : the half day full of spams is European hours so these guys are not happy
- mgt : Europeans ? Who cares ?
- IT : yes you are right.

It was gorgeous here today, too, WoinParis, not quite 20C but close, and the rain having driven out all the pollution, as if there was any. A thoroughly stunning day, and with no obligation to tell people how to get from CDG to downtown Paris, a freeing moment. May the Korean spam continue so I can really enjoy the beautiful spring here.

I just pull down the country I am interested in and don't look at the side bar. The spammers get paid for posting and fodors gets more hits for advertising. I think we are third on the list so sol.

Who are the mods anyway? They need to work the euro shift.

I just don't comment anything useful anymore.
Not worth the effort. They don't care, I don't either.

The mods should be checking this forum every half hour and get rid of this swine.

Only 40 spams on European forum.
Another great day for the mods when they wake up.
