Following an annoying barrage of WORHTLESS SPAM, I have made it so that only registered members can post anywhere on the site. I didn't want to have to have it that way, but I'm fed up deleting all that crap all the time. Also, a note to whatever cock-faced loser is actually doing it; seriously dude, get a life, you worthless sack of shit.

*Writes 'cock-faced loser' down in notepad.*
From now on I'm calling everyone that.

Four years later...Following the endless kitchen advert spam we've been having for a good month or so, the moderators have decided to change things a little bit with the registration process. New members will now have to register their account with a valid email address before they are able to post.We don't like to be restrictive and difficult with new members, so hopefully - if this helps at all to reduce the spam - it will be temporary. Cheers.

It's a faint hope at best but hopefully the bots they are using are not sophisticated enough to get around this protocol.

Quite amused at the thread this spambot chose.

In the ongoing spam battle I have noticed dummy accounts with no posts but spam links in their signatures. I have instituted a minimum post count for new members before they can access their signature settings. Create 10 valid non spam posts and you get full access.
I did not want to do this but after deleting the 100th instance of the username centjoint I felt like it was going nowhere.
Edit, looks like so far it's working.
I'll try these settings for a bit.
