Nothing new ... and it's never gonna stop. It's just our forum, it's everywhere. I think I remember bringing this up too a couple months ago and one of the mods somehow managed to up the security a little bit. Needless to say, the spam came back once again..

the spammers aren't bot's so there's not a way to keep them out.....as long as they register properly they can post links and spam...I suggested at least a 1 week wait to post links, but apparently we can't do that on this forum...
Honestly you dont even have to ban them...if you delete the thread, they only psot that one time and move on anyways
