I've noticed an odd increase in the number of spammers. From the top of my head, some of the spammers are mkking91, abcdefghijklmnopabc, (by name only) Ahnka17, and the most obvious, new, and evil of them all, Fungry101. I think that if this doesn't subside, the mods are going to have to do something. Auto-spam deleter or possibly, if it can't be controlled by the deleter, the mods may have to temporarily block new users from signing up.

Auto-Spam delete? That would wipe most of us out then since we all go off-topic...
I know what you mean. Some people think they can do whatever they please on the internet, without reprecaution.

It's really just that some younger users don't know how to handle certain things that can occur. If they get flamed they might overreact and whatnot.

Hmmm...a lot of spammers have shown since I've left for camping.
No problem, I am here and will use my  to destroy all the spammers!
Ok, plan: B, report the spammers (and there spam posts) individually to a mod. It would make it much easier for them, instead of making a thread about it, expecting a mod to see the thread (although I'm sure they will) then expecting them to go through the spammers posts until they find spam.

We ban them as we catch them. All of the names you mentioned have been so for some time now. These "spammers" aren't just random people coming to the boards to cause trouble. They're generally the same few disgruntled former users with nothing better to do with their time. Just utilize that Contact Moderator thread and we'll take care of it.
