That would be a good idea. I did already ban a new one
today. He did not post anything yet, but it was to obvious. He did fill in such strange things. Such as in his orchidlist. That just could not be ligit. |

Haha. That would be awesome. That said, I do like the idea of any post with a link in it being limited to those who have been members for "X" number of days, or made X number of relevant posts (like 10 maybe). Not to offend anyone of a different language, but are there rules on language use (English for example)? If so you could ban anyone posting in Russian, which seems to be the new trend.

Seeing previous spams, it looks like the "hottstaek" is the same clown again.
Is there too many IP's of regulars the are similar to this one that you can't block them?
Oh Canada, oh Canada, n/m j/k

Unfortunately they don't keep the same IP so we can't get them on that  |

We might do well to delete all posts that reference gaming  |
I still think there is link on the board that is dragging them in.
Using an automated bot for particular words used on the OB might work. You can put together a seeded list of keywords and phrases?

Has anyone ever thought that they might be coming from Facebook? How easy would it be to search for forums or boards.

Someone would have to look to see if the sudden increase in spam coincided with the creation of the FB page. But I think we're easy enough to find via google.
