Looking at the time stamps from registration to the posts, it looks like these last couple of spam posts have been a "manual work" - a real person behind the keyboard registering, then posting their crap. There's really nothing we can do with those other than nuking the post and banning the actual person, so they can never access BWE again from their IP address.

The best thing to do when you guys notice such a post is hit the "Report Post" button - email will be send out to forum admins, so we can be alerted if we don't happen to be on the forum at the moment.



Please do not post/reply in these spam threads - replies just gets other peoples attention to check that thread out.

As long as we don't have spam bots on our case, it's all good.
Ahh so theres the report post button, i was looking for it by the posting icons.

Not sure if vBulletin forum software allows it but some forums can set new users posts to be approved by moderators before being posted. Also some can set a post number requirement before a user is allowed to post pics.
