Forum Spam

I've been deleting several spams in the forums a few times per day now and as an interim solution I have started banning IP ranges.

If I have unwittingly banned someone who wants to participate in the forums let me know - website AT mp2kmag.hereasadotcom

I'm sure you noticed - you're also getting 10-12-15 fake ID's added to the members list every day too... All with spamish marketing sites attached to the www field. Maybe it is time to implment a qualifications form / approval step to membership sign up. I know I know why do you get all the lovely job...

Ciao,
