I think this maybe works you got something for now. I have sent PM to two different spammer bots today and none spammed after it was sent
This is latest one spammed twice and now doesn't
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/member.php?u=2402648If there are 2 spammers on at one time, I have copied the contents of one post and sent it by PM to the other spammer and vica versa
It doesn't stop them but it does slow them down as the bot operator has to stop and cancel the PM notice, I have kept it up for a while more to satify my own frustrations than any hope of stopping them.0 -

Just maybe we've found a way to throw a spanner in their works then?:)0 -
it was actually quite pleasing this afternoon to see a couple of the Korean language spammers only getting a couple of posts out before they were stopped, if only it were that simple at 4am.
If that happened more often then there would be no incentive for them to keep on trying as they would soon learn that they can't get more than a couple of threads started.
We need more 'hitmen' appointed to stop them in their tracks.0 -
Two of them at it again this morning, with a stray post by some other newbie that may be spam.:(0

and some idiot comes along 2 hours later and bumps it all back up to the top again :mad:0
