I am getting a load of spammers on my site, advertising the same place, having to delete about 3 a day for the last week.

Have looked them up on whois, but who do I report them too?

I was planning on sending them an email stating that if I recive another spammer I will report them to......

Is it their host? :undecided

Thanks :)

    Ooh, PM me the address so I can spam you as well..;)

    Probably, there's usually an abuse@ email address, but I doubt that anyone will take any notice, spam is all over the place, not much you can do apart from filter it, and make sure there is no mailto address on the site/limit who can register.

    Well I have got some hacks I am going to install to prevent bots and make it a bit harder.

    Think I might just send the email to the registered owner and blast him, it will make me feel better anyways :D

    My site is slightly (read: alot) adult, in places, you sure you can cope? ;)
