Time to block all these IPs It can be easily done from the server the forum is located on. Why do not you do this? I'm doing it all the time on my server and have significantly reduced spam.

Thank you, Ketil, we have removed all the spam posts and topics again. Unfortunately, we don't have the possibility to activate such measures as we have forum moderation rights only at the moment. You need to convince Oxwall Foundation of this ;)

I propose a software modification that only allows ONE MESSAGE in the forum in the first 24 hours of registration.

I'm doing it all the time on my server and have significantly reduced spam.Blocking IP's isn't really effective in terms of active spam protection and I don't think pointing out the forum is full of spam is necessary every time it happens, Ketil, as I'm sure Oxwall Germany has eyes just like you. Perhaps we could curtail the annoying posts just a bit?

Newly registered users that create a new message immediately are most likely spam so drop these posts in a "potential spam queue" and give trusted / most active users access to delete new posts in this potential spam queue.
Another way would be to check new posts for excessive links and drop these in that same moderation queue.
Users with over a certain amount of posts on the forum, say 100, would be able to remove from this spam queue.

It's not that difficult to fix this, just set up manual member approval.

Disobey a little, do it for the community.
If the situation was different maybe that might be an option. But at least the way it is now we can remove the spam. If i dont respect their wishes and they shut down moderation then what happens, we have no control, and that would be very bad.
