Yes, I noticed some of the threads have been spammed with porn.

But I'm suprised the admin(s) havn't deleted them yet; the posts have been there for awhile now.

I'm also worried about who will come across it on here; a good number of the girls into lolitafashion are pretty young.

I hope something is done about it soon.

I guess you dont have a way to block the spam bots already at registering? (like one of those letter/number codes you have to type in to complete the registration or verification code by e-mail)

If not then your only way is to delete the accounts and ban them by ip and/or e-mail. Shouldnt be a problem if you have someone who knows how to mod a forum.

No. acutally, both Image Verification and Verify Email address in Registration are set on, but still cannot provent some spammers. frustrating.

Yes, i bet its frustrating. Only way i see now is deleting their accounts and ban them. Of course there will be new ones since they always use another e-mail. Dont know about the ip. I'm pretty sure their using a dynamic ip which is useless to ban since they will always have another one.

Deleting the spam and/or the account is already a good start. If you do that frequently then it should keep the forum clean. Yeah it's some work doing that but better then haveing a fourm overrun with spam and illegal linking. ;)

I know some forums have some kind of a setting that new users can't post anything until they've been a member for like a week or something. Or that new users' posts go into the moderation queue and will be checked by the moderators, who then have to approve the posts before they appear public. I think the cosplay.com forum has that sort of thing. It might help with the spamming a bit.
