If you look though, the spammers aren't posting ongoing. They post one or two at the same time and then that's the last you see of them. Obviously they re-register to post the next lot of crap on our forum with a different name and I imagine if they are using different IP addresses then it makes it very difficult to block them. That being said, I am just about done with the site now as a result. Activity is already substantially less in the last 6 months or so since a lot of long time members up and left due to drama, so the last thing I want is for the little activity that is left to be tainted by this nonsense which is popping up multiple times and daily.
