    Report the posts and poor Josh Evans will clean it up. AFAIK he's the only poor bugger who can do it, and is alone against the world of spam.

    Would now be a good time to remind the management of the suggestion I made six months ago?

    The answer is simple enough - just put all new users (with less than 5 posts, for example) into a moderation queue. That way, a moderator gets to review/approve all posts from new users before they appear on the forum. It will also mean that any identifiable spam posts get deleted/banned before they go live on the forums.

    Or, even better, update this antiquated board software.

    Look at Xenforo (https://xenforo.com) - it is light years ahead in terms of functionality, and has superb moderation tools that can stop spambots before it even gets to the board.
