If you're subscribed to receive e mail notifications of responses to your forum posts here, you receive lots of spam, which appears to be filtered before being published in the forum. Isn't there a way to generate notices AFTER the spam filter has filtered the spam so as not innundate my Inbox with Mozill support forum spam?

Hi Richard,

First of all, I would like to apologize for the countless spam posts in yours and every other user reading this that was hit with the spam. The forum was recently attacked and all user accounts have been deactivated by me and other Moderators and their traces of spam have been deleted as well. Currently, administrators and developers are working on fixing this ASAP. However, since there is no way to block them without blocking the legitimate users (some users can share IP addresses), the spammers create new accounts and post on different accounts. I and other Moderators are working to remove spam ASAP so that it doesn't spread and you don't receive a TON of e-mails that are not wanted. You can help us by clicking Report abuse next of their reply, clicking Spam or unrelated content then clicking Submit.

Thank you.
