Could someone who's able to please kill this "harriettvanders" account? This spammer's been filling the forums for the past thirteen hours or so.

Yes, I ran across a thread yesterday that had porn as the last post...If you happen to run across any that a Mod, Admin or Spam member might overlook the thread of please let one of us know and it will be taken care of.

As you know, it's in the best interest of the site and community to keep this place clean and free from that mess.

Thank you!

I'm not sure who has permission to lock user accounts: but banning this "harriettvanders" would be a good start... this same account's still trashing old threads with spam every hour or so:

FFS, this is unbelievable. This spambot just dragged up a topic last posted in 2006.

this guy has been spamming since last night, maybe some more spam controllers are needed, I know they are doing a good job but everytime I come on here there is smap, and normally stays on for half hour or so.

In all honesty... Just spend, maybe a minute, skipping past the spam untill somebody gets rid of it later?

I've run errands, changed the suspension on my car, fitted some new MOMO 17's, got the whole lot re-tracked, balanced and changed the oil... That took a fair few hours and I still had time to sort through the spam.

Oh no, the spam is coming!!!!!!! :lol:

Also, remember, not all spam control persons have access across all forums to edit/delete..

'Spam control' personnel do not have the ability to delete a user account. Which is a good thing. 'Mods' might have that ability, But I am not 100% sure on that.

Give us some time, We are doing everything we can. I am not at this site 24/7. But, When I'm here I do my best to clean up the area I am allowed access to.

Killed that account. Thanks guys.

It seems that a lot of the spammers will make an account and only write one post. Would it be possible to make it so a user can't put an image in their first post? or make it so you can't post images if you've been around less than N number of days? The captcha idea is also good. Something simple like that would at least stop the robots.

spam control!!
