Darby,
Again, to enjoy our forum, we are going to have to put up with this garbage. Again, to have our admin approve each new membership request solves nothing. There is no way to guarantee that today's new member doesn't start spamming tomorrow.
The final solution is to have every message approved before posting. That'll weed out the junk, but your admin will grow very weary of the daily routine & probably shut down the forum himself.
If you haven't noticed, today's pill-pusher has already been shutdown at the site where he posted each pill page. Last week, I managed to contact another web site that had been hacked in similar fashion by an apparent member. That site owner cleaned the pages out of his computer directories. This pill pusher is most likely the same in both instances, except it's impossible to find him personally. He surfs the internet looking to hack into weak systems to secretly plant the pages, then joins probably thousands of forums. For a day, he's got free advertising that can't be stopped.
We'll miss you Darby, you had a lot to contribute, but I think you've demanded conditions that will be impossible to meet. However, that's between you & gsadmin.
