But there's other means that help, such as disabling website URL's to first-time posters Agreed. But we needed to start somewhere. When we first switched to VB this whole spamming forums stuff wasn't a factor. Now it is. So at least we've moved up to basic measures now. I'm sure it will be an ongoing battle, but I don't think any of us won't F1 ruined by the genetically challenged, morally bankrupt, and quite possibly stylistically underwhelming spam merchants -- may the the fruit of their loins rob them of their ill-gotten gains. |
