Yep, keep reporting them and I (actually we, me and Jamie) will keep deleting...

Wish we could do more...

Honestly, reporting them is just another series of clicks to delete them that keeps me from looking at relevant posts.

I click on the new posts when I first hop on and kill them that way. I'm on 2-3 times during the day.

There were 160 or so spam post this morning and slightly more than that if I recall correctly yesterday.

I've spent my entire time before work both days deleting...

It would be really nice if we could implement new user approval, limits on new posters number of post in a given time period and flow control...

I'll keep doing the best i can...

Awesome...

Killed 53 from one guy when I got on a while ago. Trying to get some stuff done before the heat builds.

Yep there was another 4X53 this morning.

Wonder why 53 is the magic number...

OH, I also banned a couple suspicious new user names with no post... hope they weren't legit...

I'm pretty sure that's just how the bot is programmed. The damned things are creating accounts and posting this rubbish automatically. One of the Italian links is dead so it serves no point in posting them.

I really appreciate all the work ya'll do to keep this site up.

I wish they would just leave us alone and let us talk about our bumps.

This is a great group of people on here that bothers no one.
