Has anyone else noticed how easy it is to detect spam members?
All you have to do is click their name when they show up under newest member and look at their info.
Their info always links to their spam website. They make the act of reporting their posts almost too easy...

Admin and dsgrendar, I hope you are keeping note of new members and their info, because it will make your job of deleting their spam easier.

Though, I must admit that some of their spam has been hilarious...

I have noticed plenty of these too. I think they are getting the job done though. I have seen quite a few spam threads taken down pretty quick.

I just don't understand why these spammers don't at least try and hide the fact that they are going to spam...

Sorry Scram,
I'm on vacation. I'm missing a lot of new topics. And I did notice new members yes. I will take a look right away, just for you

Just wondering If you make a new account. Do you get an Are you Human question? or do you need to fill in random words? This is against the bots right?
It has been a while when I made my account..

Yeah, you have to enter text from an image but most bots can read those at this point.

Made a list of banned.

It is possible that I actually banned some real users. So please post in that topic if someone got banned and I will unban!
Thank you

I can actually still see them who I banned. Scrambles can you still see the bots in the member list? Maybe it's just me because i'm moderator?

I've just added an 'are you human' question to the registration, hopefully that will help reduce the number of spammers.

Some bots like Google Bot have been allowed, these allow google to index the posts in the public areas of the forums and are not related to the spam posts.

Hmm adding the question seems to have gotten rid of the spammers registering - hopefully that will continue!
