A lot of spammers recently

[Peru Bob]

As there have been many spam threads started, likely by the same spammer, perhaps there should be a short moratorium on creating new accounts?

You keep up the good work with reports, and I'll keep banning them along with the ones that get caught by spam bot.

There are too many today for me to continue reporting.
Can that bot be blocked?

Has anything changed on the site that has caused this massive amount of spam lately?

Thread 'Guess the number of spammers!'

Mar 13, 2008

I've just banned another spammer from the forum, and I'm amazed at the number of spammers that have been banned since the start of this site. Most obvious ones are caught before they even post

Just for fun, how many banned spammers do you think there are at the time I'm writing this post? It's a lot more than I thought!
