Spam Everywhere again.

Are they posting from a different IP than their registration IP?

It's not hard to spoof an IP and there are plenty of proxies out there. All you can do is weed them daily.

The problem is there not posting messages, there creating albums with there advertisements. There has been at least 5 new spammers that joined the forum today that I know of and probably a few more. It happens every time he sends out his monthly news letter, so there coming from his other forums or where ever he is promoting this forum. I removed the albums but I'm leaving them registered so he can see there still joining and maybe he can do more to prevent it from happening.

Albums or not, they're still coming by the boatload. These are the ones that crawled out of the head.

Unfortunately, that's the only way. I have the same problem.

How many admins do you have?

Holy smokes! You shouldn't have a problem keeping on top of it.

You can always "whois" and complain to their provider. Sometimes it works.

You would think it wouldn't be a problem. The problem is something that can't be fixed and the only thing that can be done is for an administrator to stay on top of the situation and delete the spammers daily. Yes they have programs like the spam-o-matic they use here that are supposed to take care of the problem but for everyone of those programs they have or will have the spammers have already or will figured away around them.
