This issue is a problem and seems to grow, IP address get blocked and that slows down some of the posts but new ones come along.There are a few who do there best to delete the spam when it comes up but nobody can watch the board 24/7 and then there are folks who will read the posts.
At the start of the message board (when I first started using it)if a person wanted to post they had to fill out a profile and a pass word was required but it seems this wasn't liked by some posters so the requirement was dropped, I also think if all users had to create a profile to get a password and a valid email address had to be used we would get rid of the spam once again.
This is just my thoughts and since the passing of Greg its going to be up to whom ever takes over the message boards.
David Spragg has been blocking some of the bigger spam posting IP address and this has helped. Keep up the good work David and get back to normal real soon.
