Just report them so I get notified and take care of them.
Once I ban them, their IPs get sent to a database tht other forum sites can use as well. When you see those posts here, that means they've found a new IP that's not yet in the global spammer database, and that's why they can register for an account.
Thanks.

And what been suggested before there should be a specific number of thanks ! to start threads and the same of Karma to edit wikis... this step will be very good in TMO if it is done ( i hope )
./sifo
and about threads problem most of the new members come here and start a new thread just to ask some questions about their device or to solve some problem they are facing. putting minimum thanks or karma to create new threads wouldn't be a good idea.
about spamming our mods are doing great job. when they receive report about a spam thread they remove them immediately.

It seems this football spammer is rather clever
They have pre-registered 20 odd accounts months ago.
Only to start using them for spam when required.

is it possible to be a moderator just to delete/block this obvious spam threads? I wont be doing anything else... but it gets annoying when there are more than 3 spam threads on the Active Topics "please wait more than 60 seconds between reports"

Also the wiki page has a simple math problem to avoid autobots.
From the information that is spammed on the wiki's it seems like it may not be autobots anyway.
As for TMO I like the idea of captcha's also I wish it would direct you to the beginners wiki page's for the first few posts.
