We have had some recent posts that were SPAM. Our Policy is All SPAM WILL BE DELETED AND THE POSTER WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED!!! No Exceptions. !! Should you see Spam posted, Please notify one of the Admins. so we can take action. I get up every morning and Monitor All New Members, All New Posts and Try to read Every Post in Every Thread, I check to make sure every New Member is on the Up & Up, and every thread is about Model Building. A Message to "Guests" I get your IP Address when You Post here and will BAN You if You Leave SPAM. I want to Thank everyone for Your Help in this matter and We Hope to Keep Our Board Spam Free... Thanks Chris

Apparently Spammers dont heed warnings, I have Banned several "Guest" who have made posts that were clearly Spam, I wanted to Thank the members who have reported Spam and Everyone can be sure I am on this and will not Tolerate it. Should this trend continue I will be forced to change the settings so that only Members can post on this Board. I had not done this yet as I wanted to make the Board available to everyone. I know it wont completely stop Spam but it will make it easier to do a Lifetime Ban based on the IP address used and also report the IP address to Proboards. Thanks Again to everyone who has brought it to my attention. As You all know I am on here a lot but cant be 24/7.... Chris

There was 2 yesterday, I caught one but ..... I was looking into stopping the ability for Guests to post , but if I do that visitors will not be able to see all the content, so I will look further. 98 % of this is coming from Guests but I have yet to find a way to block it.. Working on it daily though.. Chris

I have reported the same spammer twice now. Each time they posted as a guest. I would suggest that you make it neccessary to be a member of the forum to post. I know you have concerns about content not being able to be seen by none members, but if they are that interested, I say they should sign up

Isn't there a way to set things up so guests can look but not post?

Chris, this is the 3rd time I have reported CleanClash for spamming Art Laski's thread. I thought you could ban his IP address.

I figured they were changing IP addresses. What I find amusing is that they continue to use Art's thread to post on.
