Please get a handle on the spammers!
Re: Please get a handle on the spammers!
I should have been clearer. Spam Hammer is a Swiss Army Knife with many tools. A new registrant cannot post links or use any of a long list of words that are common in sales promotions. That stops them dead. If after 24 hours a new registrant hasn't joined the conversation he/she is erased.

Re: Please get a handle on the spammers!
Priceless! Not only does a spammer spam a thread complaining about spam, but posts thrice in quick succession. Is he/she/it trying to make a point?
