I'm sure you've noticed an influx of spam recently. Bastards...
I've gone through recent user registrations and saw that the spammers were coming from about 4 different blocks of IP addresses. Those are all banned now. It's like a game of whack-a-mole. Grrrrr.....
I'm working on a Spam Cop user group that will be able to ban a spam message with only 1 report rather than 3. I'm having a few challenges with it, but I'm sure I'll get it worked out. Give me a day or two and I'll start making some users into Spam Cops.
We're reluctant to put too many restrictions on first posts because we want to encourage new users to follow the forum rule and post links that are relevant to their project. I am looking at whether or not I can prevent someone from only posting a link in their first post, I'm not real hopeful on that option, but I'm looking into it.
In the mean time, keep reporting spam as you see it by clicking on the triangle with the ! in the lower left corner of the post. Three reports will make it disappear for everybody but me.
