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.

Well that sucked. I want to buy a suppository off that guy use it and "spit" it back out and force that guy to eat his own used pill.

This is something that we are doing behind the scenes most of the time - and by "we" I mostly mean X, ghod bless him!

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

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