    They need to block the source IP address since they use a different name each time.

    Also, read this thread.

    That place is run much differently than here, and what they do to prevent spammers wouldn't fly here.

    I'm sure Polk will get the SPAM here worked out as soon as email SPAM, fax SPAM, text SPAM, and robo dialing is solved...

    Yeah thats the best way but when you browse solely by the "New Posts" button and its 4 pages long and 80% of them are these stupid spam threads, it gets really annoying and hard to ignore.
