Would you like the admin here to post their exact plan of action so the spammers can prepare themselves accordingly as well?

You don't really know how comment spam and spammers work, do you? They don't read the forum. It would require them to actually understand English. They don't

ding, ding, ding!

exactly right.

Didn't you see it? It wasn't / isn't porn.

It's gibberish comment spam, with the intent of selling various counterfeit or cheap-ass consumer products, fashion, vodka, boots, watches, iPhones, etc...

It's common fleshbot spam, but easily defeated by installing the right vB plugins, or effectively blocking the right countries and IP ranges. Not rocket science - though admittedly rather difficult if perma-drunk.

I think you should save the pic and enlarge it so you can have a better view.

It's more likely in Surrey, BC cuz the car is on the right. Surrey, BC is famous in its own right, for Surrey girls, but they certainly don't look like the girl in that av.

Well that's taken my mind off my search for an ugg rotpo Canada goose...

Some other forums are making it very difficult for spammers to sign up

Seems the current fashion is to confirm any registration by SMS....

It seems more a cyber attack than spam. Maybe some senior project for a uni kid in the Ukraine.

F--k me every second thread is spam.

That's one way of doing it, but not even needed for effective blocking. As I said, it's not rocket science, if you're sober and actually understand the tech.

FFS somebody buy a canada goose it might stop this crap.

Hey Dafney.

It's easy if only 6 people go to YOUR website - BigDummyKenny

With 7 million hits last month on TD - it's a little trickier

All these big mouth know-it-alls sprout off until they asked to offer their self-claimed easy solution.

Stone cold silence is what we get from them or

She must be an Essex girl as she's thumbing the wrong way. I reckon it's a staged photo and she ain't a real hitch-hiker.

One look at how he is holding his handbag gives you a clue.
