Spammers

Then why not just delete those users accounts, or ban the IP address they are coming from

Unfortunately IP banning hasn't been a viable option for spammers for a long time, since VPNs became a thing(as the admins have said). It it just too easy jump to a number of different ones. Additionally, your IP changes occasionally just due to how the ISP works unless you are still rockin' a dial-up connection.

If there was a mute function, it might serve as a good temp option. Or a way to make it that you have to make a certain amount of posts before a signature is allowed.

Not sure if its an option but if it shows everyone mac address that is a lot harder to fake, yes I know about VPN's I use one myself on my phone.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't it just show the MAC of the Server or Router from the VPN?
Also, MACs can be spoofed pretty easily on their own. In face, I think that rolling MACs are a feature for most modern cellphone OS.

Well, one of the new anti-spam countermeasures seems to be working, so at the very least the spammer won't have an easy time getting around it.

not sure if this is related but i registered an account "jllash" a day or so ago and i didn't receive an activation email. i wait 24 hours and resent the activation email but it still didn't arrive.
i reached out to the "contact us" form, and i found this tester1 account's credentials online, but is there any way i can get my account activated?

sigh, looks like the spammer is back.

Maybe turn off new membership for now, until can figure out how to block these spammers

It's so menacing seeing that it was in the enf side first. It was only a matter of time before enm was infected too. It's an unstoppable stampede. We can only watch.

Yes, I just noticed.
