We can probably block a majority of bots by filtering the phrase "coach outlet "

Or filtering a great deal of what is posted on such threads.

Also, leet versions of spam titles should be blocked too, in case "c 0 4 c I-I 0 u 7 L 3 T $" appears.

As the most professional janitor I'd love to clean it up. Although I'd need to be granted authority to do so. Although I'm really not interested in becoming a anti=spam bot mod & don't see myself getting any where near moderation.

This is an acknowledgement to the post made at the bottom of first page. Don't know why I didn't quote it. I'm lazy.

Good, good... imagine that yourself....

This message is for my fellow moderators and admins.

When you visit the board index, please take a quick look at the most recent made account and determine whether or not it's a possible bot account.
The bot names are easy to pick out so please ban it right away if it falls under bot names, this will really lower the amount of times they will post an advertising thread as they will already be banned.

Btw, use this

Banishment... for bots...!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention earlier, I think I may have solved most of our bot spam problems, I just had to recheck and reapply a few settings. Basically I removed the ability for newly registered users to start new topics, before anyone clamors for coming up for that idea I have been trying to implement that for quite some time though it was not until recently I finally was able to figure out a solution to a minor problem I was having.

Now we will see if it actually works!

It didn't. Now one of them wants to talk to you.
