Just a quick suggestion; I recently joined another forum for a local car club and they had a rule that after you joined you had to post a minimum of 10 times in other threads before you could start threads of your own. Could really help cut down on those "unlocked iphone for sale"ads. Also they had a manual review of new members where you had to send a PM to an admin to gain access to anything but a limited "awaiting authorization" thread of the forums. That might be a little extreme for a forum this size but if we could somehow incorporate the 10 post rule I think it would be great.

change the forums registration module to a human factor - random image verification instead of a question. They have pre-packaged and ready to go modules, just unzip, upload, and configure.

Good idea... Just got through reporting a spam thread a few minutes ago, and I also posted 'Reported spam' on the thread so the Moderators don't get the extra email notifications regarding the same spam.

Makes sense, and I'll do this from here on out... Thanks for the tip.

Whoops; I made a boo boo... I went a little overboard and reported every spam there was from a single spam bot.

Sorry mods, for making your day so miserable with all those notifications.

Lately, there has been a huge increase of advertisement spam...Wonder what that is all about...

If you see a post that looks like it is just a copy-paste of another users post, and it has a bunch of broken links/images on it, report it.

This seems to be the avenue of spamming that these spammers are taking now...

Probably a good opportunity to repeat that you only have to report spam from the same bot once. I know I started out reporting all that would pop up from the same place and then realized that was just silly!

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on those lately as well and reporting them.

If you interact with them and get no reply back, that's a red flag.
