We did stop new boards from being created, that spammer was creating boards as well with spam, but he can't anymore. He is going after all the stock sites.

MitchellMy two cents is that disallowing links will for sure lessen the effectiveness of spam (i.e. people might impulsively click on a link but will draw the line at having to type words into their browser address bar), but not the initial volume.

Eliminate URL embedding for newbies, and the spam robots are total toast. After 20 crap posts, we can deal with the leftover, persistent nightmare spammers. Everybody on SI happy. :-)))http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=287068602/4/2013 10:52:07 PMSr KThe posted URL is a lead, and it is what makes it possible to see that 3 posts meet SI's definition of spam. With no url, anyone could bypass the No Spam Rule by varying the wording.
