I edited the spam post so no one would accidentally click on the link.
I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...

Keith..you shouldve been able to delete the post itself and not the topic..in the upper right hand corner of the post, should be a little X icon to delete the post, next to the EDIT QUOTE IP etc...OTJxj did the quote from the spammer and in his reply the link is still active so hope many use caution and not click on it..anyway, the X option is what we have on our phpbb bbs and works pretty well against the spam.

Fixed it.  This is not the first time that this thread has been spammed,(I thought it was humurous too) I deleted the others, I missed this one because there were posts after it.
The phrase "You almost made it" breaks a lot of things.

DrLewall, I know I could have deleted it, just left it so folks could play a little with it.  I didn't think about the Quote with the links in it.  I usually delete the whole thread.  I agree, it's nothing to get stressed about, we are working on a betting way to handle it, as with HVACMASTER and others being moderators to help control it until we have a way to prevent it.  Just like all of the extra parts and junk that folks post that you're not interested in, don't click on it and look at it.  duh!

I could lend my services in eliminating the spam... not by moderation, but by diving into the code and applying patches and work arounds that would stop the register bots from registering and being able to post.
