Thanks,
Tony

Yep, I usually change their SN Tony so everyone can tell that the message is spam before they open it. Just a thought.

I'm sorry, I thought that was the same one from last time. But I just banned it. Jody, or Tony could you IP ban it.

IP ban won't prevent this from happening. It's a flaw on vBulletin's part, and they released some updates that are supposed to take care of it.

Security has been increased for new member registrations.
If any of you are having trouble registering and getting access to the site, please send me a PM and let me know.

This will hopefully prevent a lot of the recent spambots that have made it through registration.
