Increase in spam on AAM

When did you register?
Did you complete the registration process and get banned before posting?
Did you post and then get banned for a serious breach of the Posting Guidelines?

Some users are put into an approval queue - did this happen to you?

What user name did you use? There is no Morris111 marked as banned?

Do you know the IP address from which you registered?

@Brendan Burgess - not sure how these "unwelcomed posts" are cleaned up etc, whether it's from the hosting company, yourself and/or the moderators, but I assume that it is very time consuming. There are many many long term users on here, who would have the know-how to help clean things out, even if it's deleting the posts, banning the accounts etc, if you want to delegate such permissions on a temporary basis.

Just an idea to help keep your (and also our) site clean from such posts

Hi Jazz

It's simple and quick enough.

Most spam is stopped before it gets through, so you don't see it.

At the end of each of these posts there is a "spam" button.
One click on this - bans the user and deletes all his posts.
it then flashes up users with the same IP address - and gives us the option to ban and delete them as well.

It's under control. It just depends on when a moderator comes online. They often post in the middle of the night so they are up longer than we would like.
