    Good...
    Curious...Do you also put a sort of I. P. lockout (not 100% sure what that's called exactly) when you get a spammer? Or do they all spoof anyways so that chances of actually nailing down the source is nill...

    At the moment I'm just Deleting posts and the User. I don't think any of us Admins have the time to do any more than that... we all got jobs, lives etc... Either new Registrations have to be suspended for a while, or, approved by Admin before they would be able to post. Personally, I'd not approve anyone with a hotmail (or gmail - big culprit) account, but that's not a decision for me...

    Agree'd...
    I don't think I've ever seen those posts around here for more than 1/2 hour...at the most...anyways. Tells me that you're on the ball regardless of what time it is.

    You guys are busy today (1Oct08) eh? Nothing but spammers registering all day...

    No one is going to read your spam except the Admins who will kill it!
    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
    .
    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
    .
    There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.

    Yes, and fortunately, I have Norton.
    He didn't like a couple of those last one's.

    Looks like Lester has installed the latest vBulletin upgrade.
    Hopefully that will take care of the recent menagerie.

    Melanie's been on the "Front Line" for the last couple weeks.
    Knocken them down like targets at a practice range.
    I've just been mopping up the one's that get through.

    Many thanks to Melanie and Lester's efforts.
    Sure made my job easy.
