I reported another one this morning. That makes 3 I think in the last several days.
How are they getting in?
Little embarrassing don't you think?

Stopping the determined human spammer is always the toughest.

You are a siteadmin yourself (i suppose since you are registered here), so you should know how hard it is to stop spammers.

I kinda do not see how this is embarrasing.

I would be embarrassed to have a forum that DIDN'T get spammers- it would mean the spammers don't even think it's worth their time. ;)

Yes, i have suggestion.
How about preventing the members who have not verified their license to post links in their threads. Just deny if they post more than 1 link in their thread.

What would be embarrassing if they did nothing about it. If you only saw three, then you missed the nightly spam posts that happen about three times or more everyday. At a site this active, I'm surprised there's not more. The fact that you only saw three is testament to the fact that they deal with spam quickly here. (Which is the ONLY thing you can do with spam: Dealing with it, not stopping it. Stopping is the term we use, but it's actually a misnomer.)

I think I fit right in that comment. Makes me think it's time to throw in the towel and walk away.

Ok so maybe my assessment was a little off. I am impressed by how quickly they are dealt with.

Nope, not at all.
