    Dunno. I have to admit, it's getting annoying though.

    Ever been so angry at everyone on the internet you tell a woman she is mansplaining?

    Those people and some UK people that want to sell you kitchens have been going all out for months now. Just report them and we will get them. Hopefully the spam filter will eventually learn that his black magic is spam!

    Yep. I always just click the "Report post" button, type "spam" in the comment box, submit it, and go on about my business. The offending post is usually gone less than a minute later. I'd probably worry more if we saw like entire pages of those messages, but so far, I've only seen the occasional few at a time every once in a while.

    We get more than you guys know. The spam filter gets a lot but we still delete threads constantly. If you catch something before we delete it, yeah, please report it. I'm not sure that it's worse lately, but it has lately been the same 2-3 spammers for the last couple months, so the threads start to look familiar.

    Maybe you should just buy a kitchen and some black magic penis enlargement to appease them

    Only thing you fella's can do is to report and ignore that it is there... We'll try to hunt them Down and strangle them out of the threads.

    Can't we all save money and enhance our genitals with black magic kitchens?

    Just ban the IPs, please..

    You can only change your IP so many times, before the ISP realise something is wrong..

    Unfortunately, major spammers like this usually come from a huge variety of IPs. It's not like it's just one dude sitting in his apartment on his personal ISP.

    Then block the entire range of IPs.. It's really not that hard..

    If it continues, complain to the ISP, have them block the culprit's access to MMO-C's website, not by DNS-block (because 8.8.8.8 still works) but on IP level..

    Again, that assumes a single ISP on a single block of IPs when that is very often not the case.

    If there was an easy one-step solution to stop spammers, it would definitely be implemented here and everywhere. Unfortunately, things are more complicated than that, and spammers have spent a lot of years perfecting getting around measures taken to block them.
