    Can't you put people with say less than 50 posts on a 10 minute gap, or like on another forum, not allow pm's until about 150 posts.

    If this helps to stop these people, then it's a damn good idea.

    It's an everyday event now as we all know, several times a day too.

    Why not just put a restriction on that anyone using a foreign registered IP address, or a known bypass proxy server, has to have their email address and any further messages put in a pending queue, until that account has been marked as trusted?

    But I am going to miss all that free petrol, I have several thousands of pounds on its way to me!

    Hey, why's my bank account empty?
    A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.

    Ah but you forget that flirting is free - all you need is a bit of earring fiddling and long lingering looks - it works every time for me:rotfl:
