How about some requirements before new members can start threads and no thread titles can ever contain a URL? It's getting out of hand. Is there any way we can just kill all spammers?

Agreed.

that's all we do boys-all day long. we are working on it and are making changes. in the meantime the best thing you can do is report it. when I log on that's the first thing I check and then purge the unholy filth. I usually handle day shift and brother Nik handles night shift for us. remember-we volunteer our time and service and are not reimbursed for what we do here. I can only check it when I log on to kick it with the homie's....so please be patient...

I feel like there should be a thread about reporting spam pinned to the top up there....

I noticed a shift from tennis shoes to CBD gummies. I'm following the trends.

Just don't let anyone register without having a quick chat with a mod. Lots of FB groups have a few screening questions, some are auto-reviewed and some by a real person. I was denied by a Marshall group a few weeks ago for answering a question some non-Marshall expert probably reviewed and didn't know what I was talking about. I think it asked what amp I wanted next. I wrote 4010. Denied. LOL.

That's something the site admin. would have to handle. Good idea though....

Except that it would mean up to a dozen extra, separate conversations with peeps every day. Call me crazy, but IMHO that'd be an inefficient use of our time.
The OP mentioned preventing threads with URL's in their titles. Not good enough 'cause not that many have 'em there; they're always within the posts of course 'though. Besides this, I've read the forum-software manual's info on spam prevention and there's no facility to implement this approach anyway.
IMHO my suggestion of using key words to flag and place suspicious threads in the approval queue has worked really-well. Most spammers offend with their first posts and their memberships are therefore terminated before these first posts / threads are even visible.
We jump onto these things as soon as we see them or are notified that something's in the queue. Nobody looks at them and thinks, "Well, I'll get around to zapping that later after I scratch my balls". No, we're right onto it every time.
So, if peeps are gonna get their panties in a knot, and believe me, some have, just because a spammer's thread lasts a few hours 'cause it appears between Steve's and my "shift", well, so be it. Just consider that for every one that slips through the net and exists for a little while there's a shit tonne that never saw the light of day.
HTH.

Your right Nik, I just wasn't sure how to say it without coming off like a dick. If there's a way to screen on registration great-I have zero interest or time for Q&A sessions with newbs....lol...

I feel ya brother.
I spend enough time quizzing potential bots to determine if they're real peeps or not already. Spammers and bots? I can see it now:
"Say mate, whaddaya do when you're on the intermanets?"
"I engage in frivolous conversations with spammers and bots. You?"

Labour of love and blind loyalty. 
Gotta run bro' and look after my buddy who's wife screwed him. Hopefully back in a day or two.
I'll leave the kids in your capable hands for the time being. Just remember it's finger painting at 11AM and sleep time at 1PM after their milk.

Make them buy Bitcoin before they post. Just a small investment. Say a $1000. Rig Talk could be the leader of defi gear forums.
