Please, don't reply to spam posts, it only makes harder to erase them.
If you are seeing many spam for too long, please contact me or other moderator.
Thanks.

have you guys not considered disabling external links in posts and signatures till a reasonable number of posts?
also I cant remember if there was a CAPTCHA on the signup screen.

but to be honest your spammers look like they are bored saddos on a sunday night and you probably only need to remove spam on a monday.

there are loads of tools for phpBB that can be installed without any real effort... come on SM sort yaselves out, I want selgin creating sweet animations not deleting posts.

Yeah, it's annoying when you're subscribed to multiple posts and the spam-bots pick those. I had 7 notices this morning. :x

Sorry for the problems this days, guys, I was out of my city, far from a computer to check the forum. Normally, Rhoel covered my back in this cases, but now I think I'm almost the only active moderator here and I haven't the ability to block accounts.
This forum really need to be actualized, that's absolutely true.

You shouldn't have to apologise for this. (at least most of) these problems should be picked up automatically. It shows a lack of respect to you that you have to do this work when there are automatic alternatives, and whoever is responsible for this site is too lazy to do anything about it.
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
