Spam

[RichardM]

Is it just me or do these spammers have nothing better to do? Does anyone ever actually go clicking on these links and buying stuff from them?

I think it only brings bad comments & impressions to these companies.

Definitely agree...its nice to see the board looking tidy again now

[RichardM]

Do these people never give up...seriously...i don't think anyone here is going to be interested in any of their posts.

Oh noes, they really hit it today didn't they. Buggers.

Yeah they are pain in the ass, just deleted about 10 topics and banned one bot. I think we will need to write anti spam bot

[RichardM]

They certinly don't stop trying!!! Not sure if any of these might have been useful:

I don't know if they have a bot doing the signup in which case it wont be easy to stop them but if it is a bot some custom "What do x + y" equal would work nicely?

Well there is captcha on registration page, I cant remember if it was there when I was first registered. But that should be enough protection of spam bots.

To all you spammers...PLEASE GO AWAY!!!!!

We really need to do something about spammers, I am just too tired to go all over the forums and delete all posts, I just deleted about 10 spam posts and I banned one spammer.
Dunno if there is some addon for forum that is removing spam or should we add email verification.
