What's up with the moderators? One time I said something questionable it was such a big deal, but today there is a butt - load of spam for cameras. Isn't this a hyundai forum? What takes so long to delete the crap?

I 3rd that. I also asked Wytch if he could ask about more moderators. I am here often and can help out moderating.

Thanks for your concern, but we are doing pretty good with the spam. There is a lot of spam that you don't see or didn't get a chance to see because our the work of our moderators.

With the addition of Image Verification and the NoSpam! question Verification, the spam has been reduced tenfold.

We have some hard working moderators, but with some of us on the other side of the world, we are on the Forums at different times. Some of us also go to school, work, have wives, and such so that we are not always on the forums.

I think the spam can be stopped before it even starts. Having new member posts be approved prior to posting for about 50 posts will end it.

That's not a bad idea, but maybe 5 would be sufficient since the spammers are only posting once or twice before using a new username.

Their email and location also can be banned if they get a new username.

I believe they are doing a great job.

"That's not a bad idea, but maybe 5 would be sufficient since the spammers are only posting once or twice before using a new username."

how about in the process of signing up it says something (Make IT stant out) like the first 50posts will have to be approved, but in reality it is only like 5. That way the spammers won't fake 5 posts so on the 6th they can sell their Ipornphones. It will demoralize them and keep your work load down.
