I delete the user as well as blocking the email account they used to set it up. problem is anything can be a email address even a bogus one...

have removed the latest now...

Have just made it so new users have to be approved my admin users now, so I can monitor who is joining but on the down side I will get hammered with emails :lol: :lol:

Set up a gmail accnt. That way you can report the spammers to google.2 results will happen. 1 is that the email and other details are recorded. 2 that once you reported the adress it will be permantly stopped from coming back to you

Worth a shot

whats happened recently for the site to get nailed so hard?

have the spammers got new weapons? or does the sites anti f**kwitts protection systems need upgrading?

personally i just dont see the purpose or reason for the spam as its not like it sells anything or advertises anything.

it just takes up space.

a lot of work for them with "best i can tell" nil return, so why do they do it? and what do they get out of it?

and for christs sake if they do it for pleasure, then with there skills they could be making millions in a real business and not bothering the minions on the other side of the world who just want to talk shit about 4wheeling...

bitch over...
