Seem to be a lot of SPAM on the site lately, is there anything that can be done about this?

Don't know if the site is using any things to stop the SPAM, but I found this page that talks about block SPAM on vBulletin forum
bulletproof-spam-scraper-protection

I'm willing to help with this anyway I can, I have done a lot of work with PHP if you need programming help.

Morning folks,

Fighting spam is always an uphill battle. If you find something that does not look quite right that we have not caught yet please do shoot either myself or Service Dept Vic a quick PM and we'll remove posts and ban offending users.

Sorry about this - we're on it!

Is it okay to use the Report Post Icon to report SPAM?

Thanks for your hard work on the board and hosting it!

Didn't expect to get a whole yard worth of beer :rolleyes: most places in town have 16 and 22oz glasses. Waitress just asked wether I wanted a tall or short. So I asked for the "tallest one they had" figuring it was a 22 to 24oz. Wife said I had perma grin when the waitress brought out a 3' tall class :D:D
