I do as many as possible but quite often run out of my daily "quota".I think that at this time this forum isn't "moderated" at all.
I will send another email to admin, and would ask anyone who logs in daily to maybe consider being a moderator so that we can get rid of these spammers.
If they get removed quickly, they will soon realise that they are wasting their time, whereas at the moment, it can take weeks to get them removed.
I've been trying the neg rating scheme.
This is of no use if there are so many as the last 24 hours.
On most other forums, first posts by new members only get posted after approval by a moderator.
It would be a good solution, if you would ban these trolls and delete their posts if you get moderator rights...
I think that you may be correct. I think that admin is only moderating on a part time basis at the mo, I log in most days so would be happy to remove the spammers and ban them instantly, which would decrease the number of repeat offenders and certainly decrease the clogging up of the threads. I can't seem to get a response from Admin though, which is not helping the situation.
