Moderators - what can we do about this spam?

[flash6969]

Hi guys

The forum seems to be getting hit hard with spam at the moment, and it's driving me nuts! What can we do about this to keep the forum working? Any suggestions people?

Can we make all new applicants have to be 'approved' before being able to post?

Maybe i'm in a lucky time zone but from my end the mods seem to get rid of it all really quickly

You should direct your question towards Chater-La. As an admin, that is your best bet (outside of Brad)...

Thanks - yes I will do that. Also wanted to check in & see if this is getting to anyone else or if I'm the only one getting frustrated

And what do they have against Asics lol..not everyone wears Nike, pfft!

Yeah it's really getting out of hand. Every morning I log on to the board I report several topics as spam.
Maybe this is a good read for the administrators/moderators?

At least the SPAM makes the forum look active.

I often wonder if anyone has ever actually made a purchase from spam? Are the spammers that stupid? Seems like a lot of effort with not much result. I mean who is going to click on that kitchen link and buy a fucking kitchen off the internet?

Mmmm, Spam

How much is the shipping for a kitchen? Can you throw in a second bathroom for 1/2 price?

Most forums just ask a basic topic related question when you register to weed out the spammers - it's not 100% but it's pretty effective..
