We have a banned words filter here, don't we? I think I saw someone mentioning something about having to work to get around the filter to use the name of that software we don't deal with.
At any rate, if that's the case, perhaps we can just add crap like Ericsson, T-Mobile, iphone, blackberry, whatever out of place keywords they all tend to use to the blacklist. Won't do anything for the random paragraph spammers, but should help with the really obnoxious max character posts.

Not sure what they get, or what the answer is.
This is a set of forums.
Both to share information that works for us.
And for new users to ask for assistance when starting.
And to eventually be able to give back to the community.
I don't really want to limit that process.
But the inane spam is a tad annoying on the reporting end.
And I'd imagine its less than fun for moderators to deal with too.

Well, I was going to share my secret to making a living by manufacturing dirigibles with a hot air dryer, but if that is how y'all feel about it....
I don't know how many people you have joining per day or whatever, but on my old forums for my ex-band's website, I was getting spam so I made it a requirement to be approved before posting. Seems like a pain-in-the-bunghole, but would definitely get rid of level 1 spammers.

I read the forums several times a day and seriously don't even notice the spam. Whoever is taking care of it is doing a really good job.

I see 'em every couple days. I do, however, only use the "New Posts" link to read and I usually can tell pretty fast we've got new spam as you'll see several OLD ass stickies get bumped into the new posts half of the page. After a quick WTF, I go report one of 'em. No sense reporting multiple posts by the same spammer as I'm sure the mods see "ad spam KILL HIM" in the report and nuke the rest of that person's posts, too.
Now playing: WoW (Garona)
I visit at least 6 times a day and see no spam as well
