Brian,

No offence to you but if ADMIN were to just tick 1 box in the admin control panel then you would find that you can easily get rid of 99.9% of spammers.
And it does not take an " IT Specialist " to do it as although " i'm only an angler " i did it on my own forum and dont suffer with the rubbish.

Although if my memory serves me correct the new site owner is a specialist in IT.....so should find it no problem (if wrong sorry) but i seam to remember when the board was relaunched something along those line.
