It IS annoying. Reporting them as spam is gratifying, I suppose, but doesn't really stop them. They just come back as another user.

I wonder if there would be a way to use captcha for, say, the first 5 or 10 posts when a new user signs up. If you notice, they never post more than 3 or so posts before either getting caught or they go away.

Sounds like a good first start in getting some control of this very informative forum.

Given there's a captcha for searching as an unregistered user, I don't know why registration isn't captcha'd?

maybe a few more moderators are needed to ensure that spam gets removed faster

- Akismet filters out ~100% of spam comments on my sites.

- http:bl from Project Honeypot (and their Honeypot system) is another very effective tool.

[Your piont is well taken. Now what constructive statement you
would like to make about this subject?

Re: WHY ARE WE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO Hi Jack THIS FORUM TO POST Ads????
 

Just prohibit new users to post for a few days since registration. That is annoying enough for spammers and they move on.
