Unless they try and post in Book Talk. That forum could use a little more action.

i wonder if there's a way to reroute all their traffic there.

I know the forum software is ancient, but doesn't it have an option to not allow 'new posts' until after a certain number of 'replies' or some amount of time??

Good job, mods and admins. Extirpate the scum. I wish one could get back at them somehow.

Is there any way for you guys to put newly registered members on probation, and approve/moderate their posts?

Might keep this/these jagoffs at bay.

Yes.

The only downside to this is an admin has to check the new user queue every day to make sure legit posters can post. Not that this is a hotbed of new people trying to get in. ;) Tell your friends about DT though! :|

Not sure my friends can handle the intensive vetting. They may break.

Yes we don't recommend moderating new user posts as it tends to deter them from contributing.

Let me know if the spam gets way out of hand.

Seems like we've been going through a rough stretch again. -ohbfrank-

Several "attacks" over the last 24 hours that I've seen, perhaps others that I haven't. Very similar to what happened when this thread began.

Look at the bright side, at least they can't use the standard means of embedding videos here anymore...-rolleyes-

Thanks Adam. I've turned on moderating new users again. Anyone signing up will have to be allowed by an admin. So tedious, but it's the only way to stop these A-holes.
