I understand that there is only so much that the admin's on this forum can do, but the amount of spam on this forum has reached ridiculous levels. Might I recommend finding some of the more frequent users of this sight and granting limited moderator abilities to help combat this. Thank you.

There's a method of preventing them from gaining access but don't know what it is.
I know both Sigforum and GT have done something to prevent them from taking over.

I am on it. I need to discuss this with the hosting company as I already have human verification options turned on. Just keep reporting them guys and the mods will kill them off.

Turned on some more spam filters. Please report any posts you see getting through.
Thanks!

Any spam is annoying, but I only know of a handful of posts, which really isn't that bad in my opinion, considering the short amount of time the site has been live. The best thing, as John said, is to report the posts. If one gets reported I get an e-mail to my iphone and I log in and kill it. I know it takes someone reporting it, but if the first person to see it reports it, it will most likely be dead, and the user banned, within minutes.

Yes but when I get my winnings from the UK lottery I will not need to pinch pennies buying cell phones.

haha.
Is there a particular way you'd prefer us report them? PM you or post somewhere?

You can report a post using the little triangle/exclamation mark shaped button up at the top right of each person's post. That notifies the moderators so we can act. All of us have full time jobs so it may not be immediate, but someone will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks!

If you scroll over the words" male enhancement" you get a popup ad.
