these spam threads are starting to &%#^ ME OFF.
Are the IPs shown in the bottom of the message for real or are they bogus?.I will of course check to see if its an IP used for posting by members and if its not i will block the ^%$#@(*&!

I dont believe any of the upstanding people on this site would post any, or even read any of this garbage, how low have these spammers sunk. we need to let them know it is of no use for them to bother posting anything on this site,
BLOCK EM' ALL KIWI

I agree. Block them if you can. I've been deleting about 6 per day, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has.. However, I doubt it's as easy as that...

i just deleted 5 and i ussually delete at least a couple evry time i come on.I will block the IPs but are they real?

Maybe it's time to ask Dave for help. I just deleted 4 for today. I lost track of the others. It is a pain because I still have to open and briefly scan. There was one last week that didn't have any links and appear to be religious. I had to read it several times. I finally deleted it on the premise that it was OT.

If it's off-topic and not posted by a registered member of the forum, it's gone. Period. I don't know if we'll be able to get rid of them completely unless we require registration, which is starting to be more appealing every time I delete a bogus post...

Does this mean that we should stop deleting the posts so that you can identify the ip addresses before deleting them?

kiwi · « **Reply #9 on:** July 05, 2006, 09:58:53 pm »

delete them,maybe make a post in the "register to post" thread with the ip numbers or pm me the ip numbers...I check the against the members to make sure i aint blockin a legitimate member...unless theyre double crossin us.....

Matno · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2006, 05:04:52 am »

Pardon my ignorance, but where are you finding the IP addresses? I don't see them anywhere in the messages.

Just to let you know I deleted a post from Devid-777. It initally appears to be a legit post. It did seem strange because it ask about avatars but this person is posting as a guest. There are hidden links buried in the words linking to some various Russian sites. I think it's a new way to have posts in various forums with hidden links.

Here's the post:

"Hi to everybody!
I'm a "fresher" here.
I'd like to have an avatar, (like other "forumers"). But I don't know how to do this. ;-(
Could you, please help me. Does anybody know where to download it?
Or if I have a large picture, is it possible to make it smaller, and suitable for the forum?
By the way, what it the limit size, in pixels and kb?

Thanks in advance.. "

Here's one of the hidden links. I took out one of the w so it won't show up as a link for the spammer:

These buggers are getting clever.

Interesting. What browser are you using? I don't get that in Firefox or Internet Explorer...

BTW, have you noticed what happens if you click on "Help"? It takes you to a page that says:
