it still works on bots but if you get a person to look at it they can crack it in no time so they get people in india to brake them

Switched on manual admin authorisation of new accounts. That's annoying, but less annoying than spam. I'll see about blocking some IPs.

I err on the side of approving. Sometimes you can't tell if it's spam or a dickhead name.

Thanks!

We've gone back to reactively moderating new users rather than proactively requiring them to be approved, so pointing out any you spot is a great help.

You should make this thread a sticky, it tends to slip down the page in between spamers.

This one needs to go. The spam posts are still up apart from the one on a news thread.

Quite a few of the mentals on the Subway Belfast Picket thread look like spammers. Or just mentals.

Not spam but this http://libcom.org/news/what-do-you-think-about-people-bing-chipped-27022009 is in the news, its clearly not a news article, I thought articles had to be approved before they were posted.

edit: Actually, maybe not. The link on his post looked like actual spam, but is maybe only borderline spam.
