Oh... just googled him. I don't know much about Israel Vibration and honestly when I read "Apple" I thought of something else Yes, I smoked weed yesterday.

It's a one man show,

Yeah - and that seems to be the problem, because he can't be here all the time.

There must be two or three long term users who can be trusted with the power to delete posts and ban the spammers? No, I don't mean me.

I think that if we have more than one moderator and also have an authorisation step in the registering then we'd be free of this. Because the forum can still be a good source of information if it just can work under the conditions it deserves.

The site is being attacked

I'm not really saying it's apple G that was just a joke

But someone is attacking the site simple as that

The volume and randomness of the spam all points to an attack

I cannot understand why the bastards are doing this.
Advertising products that way will only bear ressentiments against these products. So what is the sense?
Or is it just fun for poor minded people?

As I said on the other thread, stop newly-registered users from posting URLs until they've made 10 (or 20, or whatever) posts. Or have any posts from new users that contain URLs go onto the moderation pile to be reviewed manually.

21 spam posts to 15 music posts, perhaps it's time to change the name of this website to Adds-Archives?
