No probs buddy. I think between the two of us, we have proved that it should be possible on here. Only bad point is that the mods may have more work to do. |

Again, approving the first five posts is just an irritation for genuine users - spam is a small proportion of the posts so this would be a little over the top. |

There is nothing that will combat Spam successfully without the measures annoying users or potential users. On another forum I am a member of we have a sub forum topic named "Report Spam Here" and the forum members link the spam to the post or username. It keeps the reporting all in one place, then a Mod has it a lot easier and posts there also saying for instance "Spam deleted to this time and date".

We have the Report Post system here which does the same thing, albeit in a slightly different way |

Granted mate, it would be a slight pain for new users, but, as you rightly say, we are quite lucky to be less troubled than other forums. Also, thanks to members and the mods, any outbreak is quickly dealt with. ![]() Let's hope it stays nice and friendly. We Don't Care About Pot Holes !! |

I find the spam useful and have ordered several pairs of trainers and some performance enhancing drugs |

Temporarily, I have made new registrations admin activated - should stop the overnight spam and tell us straight away how many registrations there are. |
