If your posting in China, PLEASE learn how to write in ENGLISH. :mad:
Since you can write your name ( banned ) in English, do so for your post.

Re: Please stop

Since the moderators are banning 180+ a day it happens........ the spammer's outnumber us.

Just be patient and continue to report spam posts using the small black triangle in the lower left corner of the post.

Thank you.

Since we are complaining about writing in English, you might as well figure out when to use "your" or "you're". I will give you some credit. You did use it correctly once! :)

Too bad there isn't a good way of identifying them. I have a website that I have to have my email address on and I get spammed constantly.

Bob, FWIW, if you guys have IP Banning, adding some of the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre IP Ranges out of Bejing to the Ban list will dramatically reduce the amount of Spam posts.... From what I've seen, alot of them seem to fall in the 2xx. range, and alot from within the 222.0.0.0 - 222.255.255.255 block.

Bond-o your reply cracked me up!!! The board I run for the Mrs for some reason is a magnet for Russian spammers for God only knows why. Most forum board software apps you have to ban by IP using the 1st two sections like this one 90.2.*.* and wildcard the last two. It's a pain but if you run a forum it's one of the nuisances that comes with the job.

I use alot of 90.*.*.* to take out larger blocks... www.iptools.com is a great free resource for looking them up and confirming the ranges.
