That's at least three in the last week. Maybe it's time to turn off guest posting.

No kidding, but its not going to help the last one i saw was a registered member.

Spam for dinner anyone??

really?? who? was it a new user or an existing user?...

doesnt the irrlicht sign-up require a valid email?

spam is lame!.. when I signed up with earthlink, our *new* email address not only had a welcome message from earthlink, but about 150 spams sitting there...

Its like they welcome you with some spam, to get ya started off right.

Looks like a spammer to me http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=5475

we need a mod. this community is becoming big, and inevitably there is spam coming.

Yeah plus I have seen some post I dont think should be here. A mod could be a good thing.

There are no mods here?? Not a good thing.

Ah... I'm the Mod.

And the reason you don't usually see them is because I wipe them at morning and night.

I removed the links this one left but am leaving the conversation.

Most of you guys missed the spamfest last year. I found a quite interesting way to stop them. I registered the guest usernames that they kept using. Something like mobo and albie.

can anyone become moderator or do you have to have certain skills etc? because if you are in need of moderators ...

Nice idea... seems like they would always be stopped by something similar, unless the spambot name list was expanded to 10^N...

But, isn't there a way to require a valid email to signup with irrlicht forums?

Shocked

So have you been successful or did you fall down and when you just thought you'd be smashed, you found out that the concrete is incredibly soft and you bounced off it?

No, there isn't any requirement.

Niko just needed help and asked if I'd do it.

I don't have all wielding power. Heck, I don't even have mod-ability in the bug reports section. (even though I've pm'ed niko on it several times)
