Spammers

There seems to be an awfully large amount of spammers starting threads across the various sub-forums over the last few weeks.

Right now we have bottom feeder welcome2008.

Is there any forum process that can weed these out, like spam filters in the email?

Craig is looking into stiffer rules for blocking spammers. In the meantime you have to report them and one of us mods will delete them. I don't have access to ever subforum at present so I can't remove some spam.

Where is this blokey spamming?

The forum spammers are doing a better job at getting low paid human labor to sign up/register and then using a bot to post. It's harder to catch, but if you report we can start building up the ban lists.

I might be being thick but I've had a look at your profile and in the photo gallery and I can't see where this spammer is. If you stick the URL here or drop me a PM I will take a look for you.
