Understandable. The other thing is, when we come to clean up one, we usually notice the other spams too. If the Report option is separate from others we might lower it but we have had some people abuse it when they get upset with some one at the same time. |

Yes, no need to spam the mods when you see spam, they can see it too once they are on site. |

Did you hear about the spamar and the priest?
Spamar says, "Father, forgive me father for I have spammed."
Priest inquires, "What did you spam my son?"
Spamar inquires, "What is your E-mail."

MegalosSkylaki | I'm thinking of buying out Mr. Sneakers and changing his business model.
Just tell me what you want most.
And in what sizes. MegalosSkylaki "Not just Sneakers! (tm)" |

Don't blame the spammers, get together and blame the administrator. We are a tech forum right? Who in their right mind allows instant posting capability without email verification. Not only that, there's only FIVE ROTATING anti-spam phrases. That's it. Easily defeatable. (try it, log out and refresh the register page)
If everyone gets together and complains to the admin you can get him to change the board settings and not have to worry about nearly as much spam anymore! |

There is no way I'd like email verification for every post I make on here.. that is a dumb idea. |

For example, say if you were a spammer. We could ban you, then you could go sign up again with a different user name and the email address kjdgugh at oingbgbfjf dot com and INSTANTLY start posting again.
There is NO email sent to ones email addy by the forum software telling the user that they must confirm their email address before they are allowed to start posting on the forum. This is a standard anti-spam proceedure. Try it. |
