Hi guys,
I've noticed that in the past week you seem to be getting pages and pages of this, coming in batches...
* Posted by unregistered site guest: Pending HMF administrative review. *
I assume these are all spambots. Have you considered disabling posting for guests? It's commonly abused by spammers, and many sites don't allow it for that reason. Offhand I don't recall much legitimate content coming from guests, and if anyone really does want to post legitimate content it's quick and simple to register.

In this latest episode there are over 100 'spam' messages. I will second your motion to stop so called guests from posting comment. Allow visitors to view site but prevent any form of posting. People can register but still choose an anonymous member name if they wish to post comment or upload photographs. Is the site protected from a major hack?

I assume HMF's security is pretty good, since it seems to have done well so far.
Bots spamming via guest posting is not a security risk. It just results in a lot of crap the admins have to clean up. :)

HMF Admin,
It has recently come to my attention that Chamblee's Rose Nursery is now defrauding customers under the management that has operated since Mark Chamblee sold the company a few years back. I, myself, am a recent victim of Chamblee's fraud, having paid $163 for 5 roses that were never shipped, nor refunded, in spite of multiple outreach attempts. Today 6/26/23, I filed a claim with the BBB against Chamblees. The consumer review website Yelp.com has started to fill up with reviews from customers who have been scammed, one for over a thousand dollars. Is there any way that HMF can remove Chamblee's from the database? Unfortunately, they figure in many rose profiles in the 'Buy From' page. I don't know how hard it would be to get it off the database, but... I think it SHOULD happen, because people don't suspect from looking at the Chamblee's website that anything is amiss. They just place their orders and pay, not suspecting that they will never receive the plants (nor a refund, barring a HUGE intervention). It's a sad situation that I am sorry to have to report. Please let me know if you would like more information from my end. Thank you kindly in advance,
Claire aka ParisRoseLady
