All we can do is report them as far as I know.
They really like the Off Road section.

For once, i wish that a spammer would spam something that i am interested in!! 
Why don't they spam stuff like off-road bumpers specifically for your truck at ridiculously mind-blowing spank-my-ass low prices?? 
Or how about a DVD showing what we already knew...how superior BFG AT KO is to Nitto TerraGrappler??
Spammers...these are the things that I am interested in!

No typo...maybe your aftermarket glare-r-us HIDs have blinded you so much that you can't read your computer screen these days?? Or that your double limo tint has made you mistype your response to me in your 4runner??

I just deleted 3 from one guy. I got around 50 yesterday and it took about a hour to delete it all. I really want to thank you guys, when you report it, it really helps. I hate to get the porn sites, especially with pics, I tell my Wife, "no honey, I am getting rid of it on the 4Runner site.....". Yeah, right.
I am not lsure if you have noticed, but we are getting a ton of members signing up. You can tell them when they are new members. First, they sound like a medication, something like "xypeciand" and they are from Guam, or Bora Bora, They always put down intersts and occupation, they put something goofy sometimes, like occupation: human.
Plus, they always have a web page that is spam. I am hoping we can do something about this. We are getting thousands in the last few weeks. I am hoping GatorGreg can do something about this. For now, please report SPAM.
Here are two spammers that just joined, I can spot them a mile away.

Another clue, is you cannot PM them.

No, no, you are mistaken. Even with those conditions I could still see the typo. That's just how obvious it was. :bigok:
I don't think my HID's have much glare, if any. Never been flashed.

Now THAT'S funny :biggrin2:
And on the subject of SPAM, I PM mods frequently about deleting it, but it seems they are not on much during the day (when I mostly am). Some of them don't seem to be on much at all

Many forums have CAPTCHA enabled so whenever you registering you have to type in some crazy letters that are are almost impossible to read, so therefor bots & spammers can't register, you all should look into it:
What is it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha
Official site:
http://www.captcha.net/
Or what you all could do is delete every user off this site that has 0 posts, I notice there are many bots that register here a day...

Lucky I get flashed, flipped off, or honked at about once a day...HB 4X4 said:

Do you think its just a coincidence that as soon as this site introduced the REALLY ANNOYING advertising links that appear everywhere, that we suddenly get an influx of advertising spammers? I think it has basically advertised the site to the spam industry that here is a well frequented place to infiltrate.

I run a vBulletin site and we had the same problems we're seeing here now. We enabled the newest version of CAPTCHA (the older vbulletin versions don't have a very new CAPTCHA version though) and about 99% of our issues went away. We still have the occational spammer but as peter78 said, they are easily distinquished from the real users.
