Keep the reporting going as a lot of you are already doing, it greatly helps and ill knock this lot on the head this week!

Don't think it went away Boss :(
Fark yeh one poor intro thread has 10-15 deleted spam posts in it!!!!
Take it as a compliment the f@ckers know NP.com.au is THE forum to spam :)
To all the members reporting the spam, thank you! We can't be everywhere but your reporting, especially when its embedded in someone's thread makes it easy for us to find. We will stay on top of it.
Thanks for your patience.
When I saw the title, I thought it meant that you wanted us to send spam to the spammers...:oops:
yeah they seem to be trying to sneak them in late at night, i tend to find them when you eastern state princesses have got to noddy land
Two more this morning
For those hunting Spam, does that make you Spammers.
Aaaaaannd another 1
No mego were SPAMINATORS
I got about 10 last night just as I was heading to bed. They all hit at once and I had hem banned and removed within 5 minutes of them getting here. Sneaky buggers!
Yep, they're having a red hot crack at it...
Ok, just sorted half of them out, I will finish the rest off tonight.
Let me know if any more new ones come in in the mean time.
Thanks again for your help everyone!!!

Link building in a roundabout way helps your website rank higher.
Although this type of link building is just crap and is not only little benefit but if caught by google can have your site blacklisted from their index.
It's called black hat Seo and is frowned upon by google.
In this era of online marketing and Seo your links should be from relevant industry websites.
Not a flower shop with links from a patrol forum.
I deleted 2 more this arvo! :(
Ill get on to the rest tonight...
So what are you doing, just banning the IP addy's?
None of those spam things I suggested work?
Yeah I tried one I saw ok the site was one you suggested but it didn't do much and I'm just banning ip and ip range.
There's a few other things I can try out but I remember we tried a few of those other add ons a while ago and we started to restrict a lot of real members but ill check out options tonight.
Fark that would be tiring just banning IP addys :(
Relentless aren't they
Reflexes like a steel trap Clunk! Slapped em down already
Hey AB, not sure if you're able to but you need to lower the time for reporting posts..... Currently it's 60 seconds before you're allowed to report another post
Make it higher AB, 1 report from clunk a day is enough *L*
We know we have a problem where there is a problem with the time limit to report spam...lol
Talking of which, there's been a couple missed in Lucus30's intro thread "New member and surprise GU", in the quotes of mudski on page 4 and in crates on page 5 if anyone's interested
7 this morning I think
Edit: and all for bloody teeth whitening
Geez your a slacker gman
Maybe they are trying 2 tell u something about ur teeth!
Im not a Port Adelaide supporter!
And they keep on coming
Any particular reason they pick on this site?
Are they coming from the same place?

Why cant new Members be made to post up a introduction which has to be accepted by a Mod before they can make a Post.
Required info :-
1. Model of Patrol
2. State of Australia or Country if outside of Australia
This would stop Spammers overnight
i am used to spam, in my young days i couldnt afford anything else to eat :)
Maybe,it would stop them, maybe it wouldn't.
Humans are paid 2 link, I'm sure they would still answer those basic question just 2 make 1 more post to insert there link into.
I would prefer 2 see that linking is banned completely for members until they have reached 25 -50 post.
If a new member needs a link inserted into there post then they can pm admin / mod or report post there post that they want a link inserted into
