Spam. Links to "freeware for sale", trojan horses, and spyware.

Kal, can you implement the "can't create a new topic until you have 5 posts"?

Those are some funny questions. I bet some of the regular humans would fail one of them. Here are some other questions worth considering:

What does CRT stand for?
What is a Canuck (this is a Canadian website)?
What season of the year are the Winter Olympics held in?
Does WanMan ever contribute to actual CRT threads? Very Happy

What political party are you most likely to be affiliated with?

Actually, Wan, your first one should be one of the question for signing up. If they don't know that, they sure don't belong here.

2nd question should be, What powers a projector through the power cord?

If you don't know both of these you shouldn't be anywhere near this stuff. Twisted Evil

How about:

What projector will disable cell phones in your home theater? Laughing

No, the one that fall on them. Laughing

Seriously though. We moderate out the spammers pretty quick.

I like caching them the same minute they post.

or modifying them a little Wink

You sure do MOD them don't you. Wink

Seriously though you guys are great with screwing with the spammers.

And I was also serious about WAN's and my suggestions about the CRT and POWER cord bits, if you don't know at least that little why are you here?[/s]

A more appropriate question may be how do you spell CRT? Laughing

There are several new Spams as of this morning. So much for control. Even the Guest account is being used to Spam.

The guest account is what spammers are listed as after their account is nuked. Nobody can spam as "guest" as this forum doesn't allow people to post as guest.

So I'm at a loss as to what to do. These people are signing up like everyone else and then spamming. We can't limit new users from posting since people typically only sign up when they first need to post.

Any thoughts guys? The number of spammers has gone through the roof since I made some changes to the questions 2 days ago!

It looks like they are hitting the Off Topic forum hardest.

Where they post is not relevant.
