Is there a way that an admin. can get rid of the spammer. It's annoying when every page seems to be updated by them. I've reported several posts and nothing has happened yet.

I sent a PM to an admin and it's been taken care of by him

Thanks. I'm sure I wasn't the only one really annoyed by the spammer.

I hope all of the people on this site are smart enough to know all of these "4 free Six Flags tickets" things are scams

And he has another thread that has yet to be deleted. I think Galvan should let us be able to close topics/ Bad people.

^ That has the potential to get really bad, really fast just making every member a moderator.

When you sign up for this site, do you have one of those you have to type a certain goofy word, so than a spam bot wouldn't be able to sign up for that?

^ That worked for a while. As anti-spam technology improves, so does spamming technology.

How about you need to do 100 posts before you can start a topic?

^That's not a bad idea. Whatever happned to the first 5 posts having to be approved by a admin or mod and your username being yellow?

Has spam ever been this frequent before? Or is it normally just a once in a while thing?

^ It seems to happen in waves. There won't be any for a while, and then there will be a bunch of spambots.

Totally; just like with the old member rating system it will be abused quickly, although with that I have seen forums that will automatically speedban someone who recieves [x] amount of negative ratings in a short amount of time, but I am fairly certain that isn't a phpBB feature.
