The NASCAR forum I belong to is also ZenForo and we don't have a problem with spammers there. Maybe the owners of the sites should get together. You

The owners thought Xenforo would be the solution. I worked from 2PM to almost 6 in the morning and used my last hour before bed to delete the same amount from the forum that morning. I don't know what to do besides quit my regular job. lol

right where I was
Spam is as spam does. Not much you can do. The other xenforums I'm on has the same problem. These spammers are going hard these days. I guess you've tried blocking by ip range?

Just talked to our main mod over at the racing site and she said make sure you are hooked up on the stop spam site. She is going to get ahold of our admin and he will get ahold of me. (I hope)

I just hate spam and other disturbing elements, and I would do everything that could help getting rid of it. I know that they probably know how to get rid of it over at this forum:

It's something I will approach after work and address for sure. Honestly, the last two incidents were unexpected on my end as well and the worst I've seen in a long time includimg before we switched over. Once I can get to a PC at home it'll be easier to take care of. Sorry for the inconvience guys. As of now the mess is clean so there's that.
