The spam gets deleted quick for sure, but they always find a way back in. I guess they go to one or two areas in general but I've never seen an issue with it here, a good job done by all.
I love using vBulletin over the old system that we had RCU on before the sale. There are so many tools that I have now that make it quick and easier for me to deal with these spammers than it did before. For instance, in this issue all I have to do is pull the profile of the spammer and click "select all" on his posts. Then click "delete as spam". Then when the delete page comes up it gives me the option to also ban the user as well. So in 3 easy steps I've cleaned off all the spam and banned the spammer at the same time. Under the system that would have been at least a good half dozen steps. Also, I have more tools for tracking down and banning their IP address ranges, which keeps them out for a short time until they switch to new IP address. They keep trying and I'll keep working my best to keep em out. I'm always playing catch up, but it's the nature of the beast of my job. But I do it for you guys so I don't mind doing it.
