It looks like you have a spam problem, I'm not being funny but spammers really annoy me, and if it was my forum I would take whatever measures possible to safeguard this forum from spammers. I would even try to track down the person responsible and sue the ass of him. I know it's not a serious problem at the moment and you are trying your best, but please don't let the jerk get away with defacing this forum with crap, it is bad enough trying to wade through all the harmless joking type threads without being faced with the spam. This is one of the most posted on forums I visit and it's hard enough as it is trying to keep up with all the serious posts.

I won't be happy until I see the spammers head on a plate.

you think this forum has serious spam issues ?
you should join the quasimidi mailing list, and see what a spam problem really looks like
(its a yahoo group, if you want to look it up)

I don't think you can actually sue someone for posting adds. I could be wrong about that, but the concept just sounds absurd to me.

Oh yes you can, and just exactly how is it absurd to stop this kind of malicious behaviour?

well, spamming is actually "udderly" illegal, but the reality of the situation is that it can be hard to track down forum spammers.

So in other words: you CAN sue, and you would win... if you have the resources to track them down. So no, it's not absurd, it's more of a practical impossibility, really.
