Just wanted to recognize Chris_W and Patricia for heads up on reporting spam, we just got hit with a ton of it (more than 100 posts) and between what you reported, and what i reported, and what i deleted, i think we almost have them all. 


Their plan is to just have a few missed, but i wont let that happen, i will destroy them all. 


It would be a huge task to do it myself and i thank you both for your efforts and time spent.


Also thanks to everyone that reports spam, it maks my job easier (remember i dont get paid for this) and it helps keep the forum clean if we all work together. 


Thanks for all your efforts... :)

u should have anti flood functions like 1 reply every 60 sec. Also check wheather user previous message is same as the one they're trying to post. Userd under sertain amount of posts cant add links.

Spam word blocker is a must have one.

yeah all that stuff is great and they have some of that on the personal messages but not on the forum, and i dont have access to that code on the server, so we are stuck with doing it the hard way...
