garbage invasion

Article about: Is there any way to make it much much more time consuming for anyone "new member" to post here? The spam garbage are increasing day by day.

    Thanks to the admins and mods for cleaning up this crap, I haven't seen any spam in weeks.
    Good Job.

    I hardly ever do have spam of what kind whatever and surely not
    from this forum. I think the guys do a lot of good work, to keep
    this website going, in spite of those that try to "advertise" their
    junk! A big applause is what these guys do deserve!

    A thought from my non technical perspective.

    The spammers can now only post in one place which at least makes them easy to locate. Is it possible to prevent posting in the New Users section for a set time period such as 48 hours ?

    They [the spam bots] appear to join and then post immediately so this might stop them. I have no idea about the technical practicality of this but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

    Actually, some of the spammers join, log out, and then return to spam us.

    Hat's off to the Forum techos, who have solved the spam blight by channeling all new members first posts into one forum, (or should I say bin), there by making deletion and cancellation easy peasy. Even better the bin is at the darkest furthest frontier of the Forum where other users won't even see. Which sort of defeats the whole purpose of adverts anyway. Hopefully the purveyors of Health and Muscle supplements will get the message go somewhere else.

    Hey....I've ordered some of those Muscle supplements. I look totally ripped now. But my skin has turned blue for some odd reason....
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    Mods alert. Seems some spam artists are getting through the net. See an advertisement in the "For Sale" section, Third Reich German other militaria, posted 13 August by Tamskindeo. This person seems to be another viagra merchant.

    I thought only registered WRF club members could post in the for sale section so how come he/she managed?
