Not sure where to put this, but I make a motion the owners of this site make some changes to decrease the spammers we've had the last few weeks. This morning it seems like they ate their Wheeties, and spent the energy posting!

It has to be an additional chore for the moderators to continually delete their garbage.

Someone mentioned a few days ago, make it so posters need 5 post before they can post a link. Gotta be something?

By Roberts rules, I will second the motion! They have been hitting the Impala forum pretty heavy a few months back.

I am on Classic Olds and that's a heavy use forum and no issues what so ever as far as I can recall.

When I moderated a Rhino forum, we started getting hit at about the level we are getting hit here- we kept deleting them & blocking the poster, but they kept at it.
They then started hitting us with porn, at a rate of 360 every 24 hours. Finally had to shut the forum down for a couple days, and the owners found an improved captcha generator that seemed to cure the problem. The company was later sold & the new owners had no interest in hosting the forum, so they shut it down for good, so I have no way of knowing what they did & if it would still be effective.

I too was appalled by the nonsense posted in all categories this morning. Thank you to our moderators for clearing it out! :D I agree to anything that makes the job easier for them.
