Get rid of this spammer

Is there any way we can get rid of this dipshit that keeps posting up links of his stupid website? He's currently under the nom de plume is xxxrx8xxx (or something like that). Better yet, is there some way that can go medieval on this beotch?

He got banned last night but he is back again. Mods may want to consider banning by IP range, he is probably running pppoe at home.

Yeah, that's 21 posts for him today so far, most of them saying "My RX-8 in a car show, babes not included." with links to this one website.

Maybe something like a reasonable limit on the number of posts someone can put up would work better. If he has a nonstatic ip address, then can't he just log off his network and reconnect?

That is why you ban by an IP "range" usually the last octet. Unfortunately, some others that might reside on his leased subnet could get caught up as well. But this guy is a moron, so I can tell this will have to be done. He was spammin all night under a dif username. Obviously it's some 12 to 14 year old hairless sack with nothing better to do.

hey moderators, thanks for getting on it yesterday like you did. Besides banning him, removing all his scummy posts so others didn't get sucked into his web site. We appreciate your hard work!
