Don't report it here - it's not a bug with the site - report it here instead: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1652005/Spam-and-Abuse-Watch.aspx[^]
In this case, it has been reported, and the member is dead.

My 2 cents.
Can we have some kind of email verification when a new account is created before someone can access anything? Also, can we have say, captcha verification for say, first 5 or 10 posts a new user makes?
This could well be annoying but I think can help reducing spam attacks.

Email verification won't do much, if anything: you probably have access to as many different email addresses as I do - unlimited. All it does is make them "block book" new members so they can use them one after another - it won't slow them down much, if at all.
Captcha won't help either as far as I can see - it's human beings doing the posting, judging by the time between posts, so a captcha is only going to add a couple of seconds.

Virtual ban. Yeah, that sounds effective.

That would be fun. You do realize I could set VPN in a way to appear as if I am in Wales. I would change my user name to something related to sheep. Just to appear authentic.

Sorry, but as others have stated, this won't do anything but really annoy people.
I've added a rough filter for this weekend and am having a more complete solution setup next week.

Brilliant. Thanks. You are not using OGs solution, are you?

Thanks,

Use the red flag and click spam.
If enough members do it, it will be automatically nuked
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I guess the feature you describe requires some minimum reputation (which is silly)? I don't see a red flag anywhere. Is it my browser? Care to share a screenshot?
