crissy has made some very good/inexpensive suggestions for limiting the spam we're getting. ya might consult with her for options. the spam might not be overwhelming now, but if enough peeps start responding, we'll eventually be inundated (lw pm'd me with that one).
Because the spammys are automatically generated ( there not real people ) they only make one post and thats the end of them, so deleting there user-name or not deleting it makes no never-mind. The problem is new ones are generated everyday so there you go a new post pops up for each one.
You can check this most times your-selfs, if you see a new spammy pop-up, just have a look for the newest member to have joined the site and you will find that its that very person.
As you were saying terrell I posted in another thread what I think would stop it and I am sure it would. ( People keep starting new threads on the same thing, so stuff just gets lost lol ) There are 1000-s and 1000-s of phpBB 2.0 forums around and they don't have spammys so its not that big a thing to stop.
I don't send mark messages for the reasons you me and Bruce spoke of, but I am sure he will fix things up as soon as he gets the chance. In the mean time it gives people stuff to post about, and that cant be all that bad. lol
