The new comments section of the site is unusable today. Looks like you had another flood of spammers. I know it's not traditional HMF policy, but disabling guest posting would save you having to deal with a lot of crap, and would save legit members having it in their faces until you can deal with it.

Really, if someone does want to post genuine content it's easy to create an account. :)

Some people understandably do not want to create an account as internet footprints are often abused. We are working on alternate methods to discourage this type of activity but limiting posts to members is still an option under consideration.

The registrations pending page for the ARS is a tidal wave of spam and made up registrations. Its out of hand.

American Rose Society? I was curious, so took a quick look. Their site won't even load for me. All I get is a repeating gif of a rose. I still have no idea what their registration page is like (I was going to check through the process).

Caffeine, go to this: www.modernroses.org/

It's governed by the ARS within their site.

Click 'Pending Roses'. It's uh. Yeah. Loaded with tons of gibberish spam submissions.

I have tried contacting the ARS about this and other things since before Christmas, to no avail :) They don't respond to emails or phone. Will try again next week.... sigh.
