Thumbs down Recent influx of spammers

Honestly, I am not impressed with this new vbulletin software. It doesn't do enough to stop spammers from getting in and doing what they do.

yea they all keep trying to sell world of warcraft stuff... wtf?

is there really any way to prevent it?

for now just make sure you report them when you see one by clicking the triangle in the top right hand corner of the post and then typing something like spam in the report reason.

I'm working with some of my other forums on what they do to keep spammers out and trying to implement them here
