Is there some sort of spam blocker you can use on this site to stop all the bloody kitchen and building posts?

 
No, on most forums I frequent, they are removed by the mods as soon as they are spotted or reported.

 
Well no , you can stop bots from signing up but not a physical person

 
Stopping spam bots is easy with the correct IPB plugin. Just use the 'hyperlinks before postcount' module to stop anyone with under 5 total posts from adding links to their posts.

Then enable capcha for anyone with under 5 posts. These spam threads aren't to sell you kitchens, they're to get link-back referrals for SEO; it's big business.

Simple really. Do it, admins!

Message Dev about it, he's the only person with any remote power to do anything like that.

 
There is another option more mods???

 
I think dev may well have dropped off the face of the earth, but as he is the only admin only he can delete the accounts, I will however try to delete all the topics ;)

 
We can delete the accounts, sort of.

Just suspend them permanently and add them to the "ban list" from the warning menu.

Took me a good couple of days to work it out as well.

 
Ah :P too much hassle to do on my phone, I'll carry on moving them to staff room so dev can find em easier :)

 
I hope dev ain't dropped off the face of the planet . . . I have ordered 3 patches lol

 
He's alive :P I've just driven past him around an hour ago, I should imagine he's been too busy to get on here

 
We already have a variety of things to stop them, unfortunately there will always be a way.

I've updated a few things so see if it gets better..
