I guess it is also a good idea to actually delete these people from the membership list, as all they do is post their websites and disappear.
I have looked at the latest new members (from about member number 150 onwards) and they are mostly spam unfortunately.
It might look good on the membership numbers, but if somebody clicks onto these websites they might end up with all sorts on their computers - keystroke loggers and worse!
So I think in the interest of all of us, just delete them as they sign up.
Alex, you missed that episode. We were up in arms daily doing combat with unwelcomed guests. Or you may hv enjoyed that, rather like playing a computer game. Fun was when there were 2 of us online zapping the same foe.
sounded like war, troops fallings everywhere, those poor spammers didnt stand a chance, maybe once a week we could drop the spam defences and go spam zapping!
Haha - are we having fun or what!
While I deleted the fisrt 2 Shakira-posts, Jeremy deleted the next 2 und so when I tried to delete them they were not there any more!
yes it is very satisfying to delete the spam.
unfortunately I don't imagine it bothers the spammers in the slightest.
Only Administrators can delete rogue members - Maedi will do it when he gets a chance. In the meantime we classroom monitors will have to police the corridors!
Aren't we all having fun. Just deleted the latest batch of spam users. Don't worry, it won't be like this forever. When the new version of phpBB soon comes out, it should take spam destruction to a whole new level.

And in answer to the thread title, if you are over the age of 4 and still have the use of your ears then the chances are you dont like shakira?
