hi people.
after a bit of moderating something weird happened to a number of posts,
I removed a prolific spammer and for some strange reason a number of threads ended up in the off topic area, please could you pm me with the post title and where it came from and i will move the topic back.
the posts that have moved seemed to be the ones that were hit the hardest by the spammer,
sorry for any inconvience

I dont know if you have this feature but you could add a time between 2 posts. Eg if I make a post now I will have to wait another 1-2-3 or more minutes until i make the next maybe this will discourage the spammers.

How about having a new member's first few posts moderated, say half a dozen. It won't save you moderators grief, but the threads won't be filled with C**p.
I was reminded of this because I was forced into this when I signed up to a new forum recently.
