Second time, banned forever, the username, the email address, and the IP address. Also, I set the flood interval to 60 seconds. kathryn, what I did, and it works, is I made a strict “no spamming policy” where, the first time you make spam posts, you get a warning, and have the Private Messaging ability taken away.

I have now had to lock the forum so that only moderators can contribute as most spams contained adult content e.g. penis enlargement. Most days the forum received 40+ spam posts, it is very annoying and limiting to forum usage. I aim to keep my forum family friendly however the ridiculous amount of spam I receive does not.

Now I know that Forums don't allow advertising directly or registering just to advertise. But just putting the link in your signature dosn't make it advertising your website, right?
