were is the banned list at?Honestly friend, the Mods here smash spammers day in and day out and have been FOR YEARS. One report is all it takes. I moderate on another forum and when you see the admin area there after a spammer has posted there is no missing it. Doing anything else is a waste of our time and frankly annoying to the guy that take care of this. Look around....just how many spam threads or posts are you actually seeing ?? The majority of the spammers are detected at registration....just go glance at the banned members list to understand.
were is the banned list at?

Good priceSpam's for eating not posting.
I believe access to that is "Paid Members Only"
A number of places have started blocking all IPs from China, Russia, South Asia, India, and Pakistan, which tends to eliminate 97% of the spam—or it did until recently. These days, it wouldn't surprise me if they started launching spam from the AWS or EC2 cloud.It's not a secret that the recent rash of SPAM have been nearly non-stop. There have been periods where the mods have not been able to get to it for a variety of reasons.
The good news is, EVERYONE can help with this!
One of the things we see when the spam is reported is that the same post has multiple reports. In VBulletin, this didn't matter as all the threads that were reported would automatically be merged for the same posts/threads. In Xenforo, this software, a separate post is created each and every time. The same post can generate a great number of posts that we have to wade through taking a great deal of time.
So, here's the request;
If you see the typical spam, post 1 time in the thread of "reported" or something to let everyone know that it's taken care of, and then report the thread.
If there are multiple posts by the same spammer, report the FIRST in the string of posts if you can and post in that thread.
If we catch the spam early enough, we have the option of marking the reported post as SPAM and then all content by that spammer is deleted and they are banned automatically.
We will leave this open for questions if need be, but please keep the questions or comments on topic.
