Thank you for the upgrade of the board, Man Alive! I'm getting used to the new appearance... so... the one before we used as "new threads" on the above is now "recent threads" in the below.

Spammers are a problem on all Proboards forums. I'm certainly willing to take the steps outlined above, but my fear in doing so would be that limiting the posting abilities of new members might actually deter those members from participating on the site. The Iron Chef fan community hasn't exactly been growing in the last few years. Even the revival of ICJ didn't bring in many new members. If someone signed up here to talk about Iron Chef, only to realize that they could only post in a "newbie" board, would they still want to stick around for the long haul? I'm open to implementing any measures that you guys see fit. Thankfully, Proboards v5 has a really nice post reporting system, so if you guys report spam posts, I can now delete the posts and ban the spammers with the click of a button. I wish I'd had that functionality a long time ago! Great news - now, we will expect you to keep this site free of spam...thanks in advance for all your efforts here.

I'm up for doing whatever it takes to get that stuff out of here.

New Spam in ICJ section ("3-Ways To Attain Your Organization Possibility Having An Sea") and ICJ 2012 section ("3 Questions to Think About Before Investing in SEO"). Thanks in advance for removing these topics and banning the authors.

tetsujin070561, report the posts using the gear at the right hand corner of the posts. Much easier that way.

Is is just me, or does the spam seem to have increased since we went to the new format?
Either way, I'm using the report button on any I see....

Herring, I've been reporting them as well, but lately, there has been no corrective action taken. Maybe the moderator is on holiday?

Tets, MA doesn't pop in much since the boards have become so quiet, and all us regulars behave ourselves . One of us could PM him, I suppose - I've done that a few times in the past when I've seen spam postings and I've gotten a fairly timely response.

I'll just let him work his magic when he checks in.
