I always felt that the source of this was from the same person. It just seems that he/they are putting an awful lot of work into disrupting the forum. Do you think it is someone that was a member and was pissed for some reason? Anyway, you can be intelligent and still stupid at the same time. I also would not be surprised if that person is right now reading this thread and enjoying the attention he is getting.

Yea, there not stupid. There main purpose is to do just that, ruin a good forum. I've seen this same thing happen on RTR, Easyracer and other forums. I believe it was Easyracer that was shut down for over a month to clean up the mess they had because it was so bad.
If it continues here you will see a lot of the veteran members leaving the forum and when that happens others will follow, as it is I think that has already taking place because some of the veterans have already disappeared, either that or there just setting back to see what happens. The noobs are hanging on in hopes that things turn around.
When I signed on this morning I counted 12 members in the currently active users or members that were spammers, so I don't believe it has ended.

I have noticed a few Veterans becoming more distant recently, but not just that, there are also less new members staying on the forum now I think.

What I mean is a lot of people who post in the New Members section don't return after their initial welcome.

I just pray this forum doesn't get to the stage where there are only a few members left in a sea of spam.

I actually had a dream last night about a tin of SPAM! I think this is getting to me too much! :laughing:

That is a very possible scenario.

I'm pretty sure I can guess the member you're thinking it is!

I have my own suspicions as to who it may be, but we'll just have to wait and see...

Good God, does this ever end!?

At least on the bright side he hasn't posted... Yet!

When he does I'll be reporting it ASAP.

It is a shame we can't actually report the member rather than the post.

I've just noticed there is some Spam on Bill's profile. Lets hope it doesn't escalate to us all, though I suspect it may...

Now I don't understand why they're trashing the profiles the way they are, that doesn't even make any sense they not using links just filling them with trash albums that don't even have pictures. zlkbkyzfgh's has created 16 albums and hasn't posted one picture just a message of some kind on each.

I know, I don't understand it either...

I think if you want this to end the Admin is going to have to make an adjustment in the registration process. To my knowledge there are three ways member can register. One way is by using the User registration setting another is an automatic setting and the third is going through administration approval process where the admin has to approve all applicants.
The Admin approval is time consuming for the administration but it would stop all the spammers.
Lawn and Landscape Forum, ( forumotion ) Has made available to its Administrators the use a security protocol over the entire board that checks in real time the content of all posts, comments and private messages of new members with less than a week on your forum and prohibits them from posting external links or emails.

But then what would stop people posting rational usernames and saying they are from places other than Alabama and waiting for confirmation, then posting Spam threads ?
