This is an ongoing issue that we're dealing with. For those who have been around awhile, the administrator has taken several major steps in curtailing spam. First, the Supermods, second, the introductions page has been pretty good at filtering out a lot of bots.

The discussion on how to improve things is ongoing. I don't think we've seen the last of our remedial measures against Spam.

Raise your hands and holler. Seriously people, it'll get fixed. Chillax. Use that adorable little bar on the right side of your page and scroll down. If there's crap on the first page, go to the second. It's not rocket science.

Putting the spammers on ignore works when there isn't haphazard bumping to get in the way.

I just put the most recent spammer on ignore and his threads are all still there.

I can't help but wonder if this method of advertising works at all. I just can't see it being effective.

Same here, the ignore feature isn't working on this one.

I also wonder the effectiveness of this junk. Just doesn't make sense.
