For a popular forum like this, we should have more moderators (in more timezones) to fight this spam. There needs to be more of us that there are of them. I'm willing to be a spam-busting (only) moderator. Who else volunteers?

I think we need better automatic spam protection, not more man-power moderator fighting with automatic spam bots.

I think we need both. Making more moderators is relatively quicker and easier than installing more anti-spam measures so might be good for a quick fix. Of course, it's up to Reggie.

Filing a complaint against the landing page seems to have fixed it at least temporarily. It doesn't scale well, but it is definitely much better than expecting Texrat, Reggie and other mods to hand clean the spam.

As noted by another member, this is going to happen every weekend through the NFL season. Maybe we should consider disabling new account creation based on that time schedule?

I also like the banning/blocking of links to a specified site. If they can't post about or link to their site, there's little point of them posting anything at all. As noted, there's a plug-in that already does this...

What about no links in your first 50 posts?
