Is anyone else getting tired of these spam-bots?? Hey mods, any chance of putting together a strategy for addressing this stuff? Something like adding in a requirement that new members get a short period (maybe until they make 10 posts) where they can reply to threads, but any new threads need to have mod approval. Not the best idea, but I think that we're getting tired of these trolls....

I don't think we want to go that forceful...Plus that's some heavy code changing...

The Mods HAVE discussed the member you're referring to...After discussion, I pointed out that I laid out the issue to ksamao directly as a last chance to show he's not a one trick pony and isn't here to just proselytize...

Alas, he didn't heed...So he's gone...

OK, then can we have a requirement that all members make fun of these trolls when they show up before they can make any other posts????

There have been many times I have wanted to challenge what are in these copy and paste posts from those particular trolls, but I know they won't answer me so I just ignore them.

The "Point and Stare" technique?...

My proposal for rendition to secret prisons overseas was vetoed on legal grounds.

As long as they don't come to the UK; we have enough of them as there is and they are costing us a fortune in upkeep whilst languishing in our jails.

You just need to go back to the good old days and keep them in an "alternative prison":
