spambots again

I feel the spams are tacked well recently. I got a message and wanted to click it to report it but was deleted almost immediately. By thiis guy

The problem with spam filters (among other things) is when they are working you don't really notice, only when it doesn't work do people get up in arms.

Just came to know that there is community called ENABLED.  But the message board is hit with spam . Cant these messages be removed.  Some messages are like 2 months old.

 Thanks for noticing.

There is a "report abuse" link when looking at one of those posts to alert the moderator. I just did, so hopefully it will all be cleaned up soon.

@tst
The spam is from India as well 😞

Why doesnt the forum ban the user name?

[muks]

I remember seeing in this thread that labview board was hit badly. Was is by the same user?

[P@Anand]

May be the same user or a group with frequent different user name. I feel there must be a restriction on creating user name from a same IP or something similar.

Yes and creating a username every time you want to spam will atleast create a speed bump.  Is jordan listening
