That's enough of the 'OLD' jokes, thank you.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

They are definitely persistent. I banned the IP address of the first spammer, and the second one is a different IP. Banned, deleted and wiped also.

And yet another.I think you'll find it's all the same person using different IP adresses.It's how they try to make a living,introducing a pile of
Spam Bots to a forum,then activating them at their convenience.They either pick a key word or just spam a set number of the most recent posts.I think
Joel has the right solution to combat this sort of an attack,and that is to have the first five posts of a new member to be approved by a moderator
before it is posted.This will nip it in the bud pronto!

They are trying to get you to go to that web site.Our spammer in question probably approached that web site and stated he/she could increase their
traffic.When you click on the link provided,as well as taking you to the site,it also activates a counter,which our spammer keeps tally of.After a
period of time,he/she will contact the web site owner with his tally count,and receive his/her ill gotten gains.People do click on these links(mainly
out of curiosity) and spammer gets the credit.Unfortunately for spammer,the links were dead (going to said web site through your own search engine
means no credit for spammer) and members here would sooner spend their hard earned on their VW's.He/she will be back!Here endeth the lesson.

Is there a Captcha key for registration? Maybe add one of those or even a Question like other websites have eg:
How many cylinders in a type one?
or
Veedubbers refers to which vehicle following ? VW
etc..
Seems to keep them out of most forums i use.

This is getting rediculous.
I'm waiting for one of their posts to be in this thread just to add insult to injury.

There is a captcha here, so someone has worked out how it works. I'll implement Recaptcha and see if that helps.
In the meantime, I've banned three suspicious users, and an entire class B:
So that entire class B is now banned. Will not stop someone who really wants to try.
thanks,
Andrew

I've changed up the captcha settings and required e-mail verification, which will block the latest batch.
However, it will most likely stop stupid mail hosters who insist on dumb ass SPF verification, too, like Hotmail and Yahoo 7.
reCaptcha requires a bit of a change, and will take me a few hours to get it right.
thanks,
Andrew

So the couple I saw joined on the 14th of this month.I dare say Spammer would have planted them all around this date.Has anyone had a look for new
members with gobbldegook names that have joined around this time?
