Spam problem

[pburness]

Yeah,
It took me two attemps to enter a comment on a news article - I don't mind Captcha's but the ones in use here are very difficult to read (sometimes it's impossible to determine the characters, and whether it is uppercase or not). I know you can use the audio but it's even more time....

Hi all...there must be some way of stopping these people from spoiling this brilliant site with their spam trying to sell crappy shoes etc! We seem to be getting it every day now!

[silversnapper1]

They seem to be targetting most of the photography sites.

That user, CyberLink has been reported for spamming since 2011-02-13 just type it in here, http://www.stopforumspam.com/search.php and you'll see.

If the team took my advice and installed one of the stop forum spam mods listed here, http://www.stopforumspam.com/contributions a lot of this could be avoided. They would be checked out at registration, and blocked.

I have mentioned this before.
