There are too many of them and its a losing battle just now even with the 3 of us mods its just insane the number of spam posts.
completely despammed
the secret life of...
general discussions
sales / wants cars
sales / wants parts accessories etc...
wastegate now clear
non volvo problem cars now clear.
How to .. section now clear.
and will endeavour to maintain these threads clear of spam.
Apologies to any members who have seen their post count decrease but on some threads you are looking at 10 or 11 spam posts and only 1/2 genuine plus the thread is either old or not vital in my judgement so I have deleted the entire thread. Drastic I know but its a dire situation. Have given up on trying to eliminate all the new spam posts there are just too many so have concentrated on these and if I get the chance will try on the other sections but its difficult .
In the time it has taken me to type this there have probably been another 4 or 5 spams added to the forum.

Re: Spammers volume 2
I have as a drastic measure disabled the registering of new members and am sipping coffee while fighting the damage already done.
Hope dragon will install a mod I recommended to present more spam fighting tools as this is just insane...

Re: Spammers volume 2
There are still zero-post users registered by spammers in the past which they can put into use to post spam.
But this seems to be on a scale that is manageable by the moderators. Just removed the spammer and the two spamposts by the user you just mentioned.
