No problem with that.
But I already identified the source for most spam posts. He's not exactly a criminal genius and he works incredibly predictably. I can spot him just by the names he uses and the places he posts.
My immediate question is this. Is there a notice explaining to new members how to get access to the picture section?
My immediate concern is this. If all it takes is a few posts anywhere on the board to achieve senior status and give him access to pictures, all he'd have to do is post a couple of random nothings and job done. I mean, he already knows he's going to be banned and cleaned immediately anyway so what does he care? He's not doing this to make money, he's clearly just doing it to piss us off.
I'm not writing these things to be a trouble maker or naysayer. Rather I'm pointing out the obvious weaknesses in the plan.
Thinking as he does I'd go into Discussion or wherever open multiple windows and type a word into the quick reply box in each. Once they were posted I'd go to pictures and have at it. If he's organised, and given how many new IDS he creates he clearly is, he has all the threads bookmarked and his links sorted and ready to go.
I appreciate you're doing what you can in the environment we have, but at some point we may well need better tools. I thought he'd get bored and go away. Ten pages of spam in a week says we're dealing with a vindictive petty little shit with a small mind and a smaller life.
