I got one too.
Can we do something to prevent spamming the forum and taking space in PM boxes?

[Teotwaki]

I saw the SPAM and under their name I saw BANNED! Good job nailing the moron.

We are. I would say we pretty much block over 90% automaitcally. Then ther still is like another 8% we see as admins/mods and need to clean up. Unfortunately 2% or so still gets through.

We are always looking at ways to improve these ratios, but some of these solutions might block legit new users.

As Andries said, you guys don't see fully 90%+ of the stuff that is attempted spam; the filters catch it and present it to the mods/admins for analysis. A lot of it never even makes it that far and the small percentage that remains and sneaks through is truly miniscule. You guys have it easy :D
