Hey guys
Sadly, the only option right now is to just report to moderator. I'm the only one with internet access at the moment so I can't catch them instantly, but I'm trying This morning I had almost 50 "report to moderator" messages in my PM's to contend with, so it takes a bit of time to filter through them all and get things sorted (I make sure to find all of their user posts, delete them, delete their account, etc).
Thanks for reporting the spam, the sooner you do the better and I'll try to get them gone as soon as possible, and since I'm not active in all areas of the forum it's very helpful for you folks to report it as soon as you see it.
As for the spammers, does anyone actually follow their links?? I'm not sure what they really gain from this stuff honestly, aside from frustrating forum users that is. The sad part is that there is an application that spammers can buy that get's around the security on just about any modern forum software (this is how they are doing it, they are not email validating and going through the full procedure).
Once Michael is back I'll discuss some options with him on how to combat this stuff.
