Angry Spam

More and more spam is appearing here. Are there no vB add-ons that could be added to help stop it? Either that or a second moderator, or something.

There is a safe guard on signup against bots. If it is a real person they are slipping by. I try to get the spam withen a 4 hr window. I wouldnt worry much about the spam up there for that length of time, since it isnt porn releated. Have you ever seen porn on TA? VEry Very rarely.

I know it bothers you alot...i get email repotrts from you all the time
