The 'Off Topic' section seems to have a vast number of adverts for Viagra!

Good work, mate. It makes it a lot harder for the spammers when there are 3 moderators (Paul, you and myself)

Thanks, why do programmers of spambots get the idea any thinking creature would click on their bloody links?

Maybe you should try changing the board settings so that every message needs to be approved - see how you get on. That's what we do on our yahoo group.
As an admin, I guess you have to weigh up whether you would spend more time clicking on the good posts to approve them, or tracking down the spam posts and deleting them.
