i dont mind deleting threads, it's having to go into forum manager and banning these people that takes the extra 90 seconds. if i could just have a button that says "BAN USER FROM THE INTERNET" alongside 'delete thread' i could do this all day.

i have stopped banning the user because after a while you notice that they never seem to use the same account. at the current rate i am deleting about 6 to 8 messages in this forum a day, and i'm guessing it is similar for others

we need a way to not only ban the user but delete him/her from this interface so it reduces the number of users in the database

i thought i could get away with it, but ive had people post a different spam thread with the same name, so i'm back to that.

they're spreading into treatment....

i wouldnt mind approving new memberships. at this point i'm banning anyone with a mail.ru account that make posts that are obviously just BS.

I moved one into treatment - the anime one. Didn't seem offensive. Just a bit obsessive, but a subject that people here could relate to. Unlike viagra. Well.... I haven't spoken to Rog about that. Maybe he wants us to keep the viagra threads.

man we are rippin into rog these days

it's too many links and hype for it to just be a forum member coming in blowing up about anime on their first post. it wasnt offensive, but it was spam and my tolerance for it these days is at record lows, in case no one noticed

spam tastes good with chips

viagra? pah!

...and my drunk posts are not nasty or offensive (well not often anyway)

and by the way there is more spam today in the process section so instead of having a pop at me, you moderators go do your job

Here are some suggestions regarding forum spam. I'm not sure how many of them are currently implemented here.
