  • Is there a way ...

    ... to report spammers before they post?

    If not, then I'll post it here: new member RoseanneH is most likely a spammer: http://stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/95.6.7.188

    To cut down on spam, I propose auto-banning all users who have numbers in their username.

      There are legitimate users who have numbers, and spammers who do not. However, I strongly recommend using email verification and checking with a "known offenders" list, such as the one I linked to above.

          The problem with spammers is that they sometimes hire third-worlders to solve CAPTCHA's for them so they can spam.

              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    If we prebanned everybody the staff wouldn't have any work to do.

                    And we can't have that now, can we?

                            Would this be too mean of a joke? "except spambots are smarter and don't have the logic problems and research fails"

                              We could probably pull a "Ransom of Red Chief" scenario with that. "Here, you can have our Canadians ... but you have to pay to give them back."
