jayjoekuakua - has this person been unceremoniously removed from the Nut?

Spammers need to have 50 trillion volts of energy fired down their computers to fry them.

Yes, he is banned.

I wish there was a way to weed them out when they register.

I don't know how, but in my opinion Dallan knows the tricks to keep his staff real sharp...

Why don't we try a quiz. If they can't get that right they shouldn't be here. e.g.

Q1 What is a rifle
Q2 What is a pistol
Q3 What is hunting
Q4 Explain the 2nd amendment in less than 50 words, even us foreigners know that one!
Very Happy

You can set up a Jpg/Jpeg image with an embedded text file on the image itself for registration purposes only. Spammers cannot read the embedded text. Another is the use of CAPTCHA which can be defeated and last but not least, you can show a certain image (deer, elk, bear) etc that the person registering has to identify during the registration period.

I understand the frustrations with the spammers but lets not do anything that would make it difficult for a new shooter to join. We need to reach out to the younger folks if we want shooting sports to continue.

I have no problem sniping at spammers.
All mods would squash them like bugs as soon as they sprout.
It is very rare to have a spam post to exist for more than 60 minutes due to the well spread locations of the mods.
And besides, the spam tactic is getting old and getting very easy to spot, IMHO by now those that falls to spammers cr4p maybe deserves it Razz
