I haven't really seen too much spam on this site before, but this morning, fook me! There's been 4 or maybe 5 threads i've seen with spammers just posting absolutely pointless bollocks
Is there no way a new user has to make 10 replies before they can start a new thread themselves or would they just end turning the decent threads to shit?

 

They sure have been busy today havent they!

 

Indeed they have! Just trying to suggest something that might make the mods job a bit easier, but i don't know if it would turn out to be even more of a pain

 

I have no idea if im honest! lol... but maybe stu can think of something?

 

if you allow them to post, they still can POST spam,

there is no way of stoping it.. Simple as really.

 

As soon as they are spotted though, the posts are removed and they are banned.

It is very difficult to moderate 'who' exactly we allow to sign up and how we can determine whether they are a genuine user or not.

 

yes but you can't always be on the ball 24/7, some topics can and do get out of hand, like you say, a ban is the way to go.

but then your never ever ganna stop it.
