What to do if you see a spam message on EBTF

[Crazy Bob]

And please ban this user, of whom I've just deleted a spam message for the 4th time.

The user mentioned now has no less than 13 deleted messages on his/her name! Time for action, I suppose...

Lately, there is a user or machine that is annoying us throughout ALL the forum with similar (I would say identical) spam messages
(Worst is that I think that it registers again and again and again... is it possible to do something else rather than just deleting its posts?)

And they are probably seeing the lack of moderation on some EBT forums, hence today a new "wave" of spammers...

Some cleaning up to do in the Euro-Notes and Coins Board and in the Europe-Board.

Time to give this user a friendly IP ban

I have now deleted a total of 8 spam messages of him/her...

[Crazy Bob]

I'm getting fed up deleting this user's spam, so please ban him/her.

I'd be very pleased if someone could follow this up.http://forum.eurobilltracker.com/member ... ile&u=9434" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]this user[/url] also won't understand that spamming is not allowed, so he would like to have the same treatment...

Please also ban/block:

(see their user notes for more info)

And maybe it's time to implement better spam prevention. Here are some suggestions. The one that checks whether or not a user took more than 5 seconds to register is very nice, as bots fill the form in within the blink of an eye. And the one that hides the "website" field from the registration form is a great one as well.

And maybe we need better CAPTCHAs, such as recaptcha.

I guess that 90% of the registrations since December were launched by spambots
This one contains XXX spam.

Please use the report button ( or ) to report any offending post; messages will then normally be deleted on short notice.

If the spammer starts a new topic (like this one), will this topic been deleted as well?
Or will it remain an empty topic?
