All,

Someone who logged in to post porn has been deleted & banned. Thanks for Frank for the rapid alert.

Sending me a private message when this happens is fairly effective.

FWIW, the spammer was a real person who created a real login, lurked for 4 weeks, and then spammed us. I can't prevent such activity, but I can very quickly delete their posts and ban them.

I saw it also but was a bit nervous about opening the offending posts on my work network to delete them (is there any way to delete posts or threads without opening the specific posts?). I banned the user, called Kathy to ask her to delete the posts, and in the meantime you got there ahead of her.

Frank you crack me up.

Funny that he lurked for a month before spamming, I guess the soup of the week just didn't do it for him.

Thanks for taking out the trash Fuzzy.

Mary

Answering my own question - an Admin can delete the user and remove all their posts with one stroke.

I tried it on Frank -- JOKE! :D

Yes ... the admins (me & Pete) can delete a spammer, ban their IP, and delete all their posts with a few clicks.

That's why I'm not that worried about this kind of spam; it takes the spammer more effort than it takes me.
