We've had a rash of spammer registrations recently. Most are filtered out automatically by
www.stopforumspam.com to which I (we) subscribe.
However, that database relies on forum owners reporting spammers, which, when added to the database results in all future registrations from that username, email or IP address are barred.
This has always worked reliably but the spammers have developed a counter whereby they register but don't post for a while (sometimes weeks) and by the time they are reported they have already made it onto loads of forums.
The upshot of this is a request from me for diligence by those who are on here every day.
If you see something suspicious* then please PM me as I will get it immediately. I'll then simply delete them and their rubbish.
* normally anything that has a load of links in it or stuff that isn't anything to do with SOHCs.
