You've been here a week and you're bitching about spam? If it's that much of a problem for you, use another forum.......

To be honest this forum isn't too bad for spam, and the little that does get through is easily ignored. Why worry about it.

Korn's the best kind of admin. I've been far too many forums go under when the admin gets on a power trip and starts banning people for silly reasons.

I'm not a serial forumist but BCF seems to have been good enough to keep me hooked for nearly 10 years. No idea what others offer, but even bike model specific ones have never kept me hooked.

There have definitely been changes (I quite liked the old 50 post pages for instance), but for the most part "If it ain't broke - don't try and fix it" seems to be applied, and that suits me just fine.

Just ignore the Spam. The threads are obviously spam by the title. Don't click. Don't get pissed off.

What rating them does do is very quickly push them into red karma.

Once you're in red karma you have to post a minimum post length and eventually mandatory preview posts before submitting. As in, you have to click preview, THEN click submit to post your message, if it's long enough.

So what the karma system spam rating does very well is help keep a lid on prolific spamming. The wood furniture one-liners can usually get away with 2 or 3 posts at most before ther forum software bounces their posts for being too short.

The worst ones were the credit card number/email hacker posts because they were pretty verbose and could post 6-10 posts before the mandatory preview script kicked in.

EDIT: I personally don't think a karma ban kicking in sooner would be appropriate. There is a faction on this forum who would abuse it.

Why not just nuke the karma rating feature? i suspect CaNsA & GT200Fan79 will bandwagon every chance they get.

So basically, yes, you are the user formerly known as goblin king. And probably various others.
