I got the same PM...


And its only fun banning spammers for the first couple times... then it becomes a pain in the butt.. its more fun banning someone thats been an idiot on the forum and you feel like he might care..... spammer its just a username, so it gets boring....


Cheers

damn bot programmers are starting to go in the back door. there must be a way to force new people to post in the introduction section before they can do anything...

I had a different one from ADAM , it was promoting some other sites , If I wanna check em out , I'll search em out!!!!

a guitar site i'm on is like that, you have to post in the introduction thread before you can post anywhere else.


really this site is pretty clean as far as spam goes....

You can find lists of spammers IPs, emails and usernames... I found a few a long time ago when I had spammers on my site. Also, there are tons of forum add ons that will block them. I'd look into it.
