    Since a lot of these spammers are posting the same crap, why not ban them by IP address? If you do that, they can't sign up again without first getting a different IP address.

    I think an even better idea is to implement a new posting mechanism whereby every post we submit is queued to await approval from the relevant mod. They can check the post, then place it up on the thread

    No, no..no need to thank me, mods. Knowing I've helped improve the site is thanks enough.

    Much to simple! we all know that the mods have no lives so to fill their days and nights we should simply call them and dictate our posts that way they will be proper, spell checked and grammatically correct. Also they will need to have the post up within 10 minutes

    the only downside is that they will be able to snag the best of bst.
    Be just and fear not.

    Can overseas members call the mods collect? If not, I like my idea better

    Ah, good point on the B/S/T thing! Just make a rule that the mods are forbidden to buy off the B/S/T (or any "heads up" ebay posts) for at least 2 hours after it is posted.

    I think we're getting somewhere here sys!

    Depends on the kind of forum you;re running, one of the forums I mod on we're free to block IPs from certain countries, another has some key words that result in an instaban. and yet another requires a mod to approve membership before you can post.

    none of those would really work on here.

    I think you may be right, I see Doc prowling around when I log in ususally around 9AM (BST), which means he's already been around about 2 hours at that point.

    We had one earlier today, advertising same stuff. Seriously, just ban their IP address, then they cant create a new account every other day.
