Quite right Jackie,
But what I'm also pointing out is HOW the two main spammers are getting their access.
Admittedly they are likely to have moved on from the ISPs they were using, but if the Admin/s don't contact the ISPs via the abuse departments whose e-mail addresses are above, then they are free to continue spamming this and other fora.
www.stopforumspam.com logs all these attackers almost in real-time (along with the IP address used, the ISP who is assigned that IP address, the spammers various usernames and e-mail addresses), and if ALL forum admins not just here used the complaints facility that virtually every ISP company has to provide, it would cut the spamers off at source.
This obviously is a seperate but related issue to the spam messages not being cleaned up by whoever still does have access since the 14th of April this year. As Ed pointed out a while back.... it's a 30-minute job at most.
To those who may think this is "bitching", it's not. I'm simply trying to help by pointing out resources that are available that the admin/s may not already know about. :)
All the best,
Paul
