[MC Marshy]

I hope he goes to hell the bastard!

Andi could you possibly ban guests from entering the forum and make people register if they want to post on the forum?

[Lomay]

but if andi removes the comments for the guests, that might also means "ccexplore" can't comment in the guest comments, becauses their has to be another way.

Grrr something has to be done against this...wish I was mod so I could instantly delete the spam on the first moment I notice it

I guess it's best to have people require to register before posting...it's a shame that it's necessairy but that's the way it goes all the time: the good people have to be penalized too for the things the bad people do

I agree with you Leviathan. That happened on Garjen's forum ages ago. It's best to have people require to register before posting

I've notice that the spammer's e-mail address keeps changing, so this might mean that their are more that just one spammer or just one, meaning he/she/it's IP logging might be weird.

If their e-mail address is changing they are probably using other e-mail addresses to stop people finding out who they really are.

oh

[MC Marshy]

I'm sure that the spammer is using different e-mail addresses to try and impersonate other people. To see if it's the same person or not we need the moderators to check the I.P addresses from all the posts the spammers have made.

yeah!

Block his IP range.

[Mr. K]

Somebody, do SOMETHING!

Changing email address could be randomly generated by a computer program to avoid capture.  I'm betting this is automated, since it's trying to put in HTML code and says random nonsense.

There should be a law about this that could make them pay a fine or something.

post moved from a different thread:

Wished I could hack their PC so they couldn't do this again.

I'll see what I can do. I'm not very good but I might be able to do something.

EDIT: The IP Andi mentioned appears to be a PC running windows NT V3.90 (on second thought I'm not so sure if 3.90 is right). Andi it would help if you posted more IPs.

There's no reason to reply to spam posts, people.  Spambots don't listen, they spam.

We need one of the following:

• a global mod who visits the forum regularly who can delete the spam
  
• required registration for posting
  
• a captcha mod for YaBB
