New SPAMMER panpan

He's been a member for under 3 hours and has hundreds of posts.

So that's the prick responsible for carpet bombing my mailbox while I was sleeping...

I don't understand how someone can register for a new account and be allowed to post hundreds of new posts within minutes. There's got to be a better way.

Yes, perhaps limit new users for 10 posts/hour and when they sign-up?

Or do the 3 vetoed posts thing.... cough.. cough....

I don't think the software gives you those options, and I doubt Mr Admin wants to learn to code, I'm sure he would rather mod lights.

Maybe do it like the guys over at Flashlight News forum. He had so much of this it's now set up that every new registration has to be approved by him. Tedious but it'd work.

how can one sniff that a reg'ed and approved newbie is *not* a spammer?

Tried to reg at "flashlight news" and just gave up.
