There's nearly 90 banned spammers in that lot though. Still not bad though. I reckon we'll do a 1000 before Christmas.

most of the sign ups these days seem to be spammers, its a constant battle to keep them off the forum in reality theres around 600 members, as blue has pointed out theres around 90 banned users and that list increases daily

hi marker, these banned spammers , are they from organisations , what is it they actually do or gain ,sorry for the silly question i`m relatively new to this computer lark..

[MarkeR]

i'm not exactly sure who they are mate, the people responsible use a program that finds forums, signs up and then posts adverts, usually about making your willy longer or breast pills or something similar
they are a pain in the backside but at the moment we seem to be powerless to stop them, the best we can do is to keep banning them. the mod team on nm is quite large so one of us usually picks them up when they register and they are banned before a post is ever made
occaisionally a member might see a post from one of these spammers as we can't be online all the time and the odd one does slip through, if you do ever see one just report the post and one of us will delete it and ban the offender as soon as we can
