Ban the Spammers
Trying to find threads about DVD deals today in the DVD Bargains thread I was overwhelmed with spam threads. Could we please remove all these threads and ban the spammers. I realize they can simply change their user IDs, but maybe if they get kicked off enough they'll get the message. Other than being able to use the search feature they make the forum very hard to use. Thanks.

Anyway, as guessed, there seems to have been a bit of a flood today which we're endeavouring to block and clean up.

Re: Ban the Spammers
Not even sure if DVDTalk uses it, but ReCaptcha was recently cracked, so there's been a lot more spammers getting through to forums:
