Spam Forums at Your Own Risk

I was lax for years and years about letting in just about anyone to Cre8asiteforums and letting them create their existence there. However, it became clear that the moderators and myself were spending most of our days deleting spam and banning members who spammed the Community. We're often assisted by the Community because members hate spam and report spam posts to the staff.

For the past year or so, every new member is screened before they are permitted to join. Every day, myself and a few other Admins, enter every username, IP and email address into a database that tracks forums spammers. If they get past that stage and are welcomed into the Community, and then spam us, their right to post is removed and their information is reported to the database, so that other forums will know in advance a spam predator is in the bushes outside their house.
