Seriously it's getting out of hand. Now they are talking to each other and they seem to be getting more frequent by the day.

Someone mentioned having new members do a captcha test. I believe that's a good idea or maybe have new members being moderated and checked out by mods or admins before being accepted.

Something has to be done! I don't know what, but this is getting ridiculous and out of hand.

Here's a link to a captcha solution for phpBB 2 or 3. I don't know what version of phpBB MR uses, but it might be time to update. :)

Making separate threads about it every time isn't going to help, guys.

Especially if you're planning on posting links to Glee episodes and quality hard-on pills sellers.

And I deleted one who listed the 10 best actresses on the planet. Not a single half-decent one. I miss the good ol' Viagra links. At least they served a purpose.
