Yeah. I blocked him and reported it. Did I miss anything good on his site?

Hopefully nobody actually clicks the link, but we can only hope.

About 25% of the members that register on this forum are spammers. I routinely run all new memberships through a special filter to see if they are spammers. Can't catch them all! Budrikovs is deleted.

I got through his filter. But don't tell him!

I got a PM from him on a different site. I never get them here. They must not send to mods.

After the software company came out with a patch for the spammer flood we lived through a few months ago, I installed it. The patch doesn't prevent spammers from

joining, but it did provide a new option for "flood" control. Essentially, it limits how many PM's can be sent out in a specified period of time. In this case, a spammer might think they're going to spam the entire forum membership, but then they get a notice that they need to wait before sending out another PM. It ceases to be "worth" their time to waste ours. A limited number of members might be affected before "flood control" is automatically enforced (but nothing like what we all experienced a couple months ago).

Additionally, I have continued to approve each new member manually and use a "risk assessment" tool before approving them.

And don't forget we have Kruszakus and the "Polish Powerhouse" on constant patrol!

what do you mean by a spammer? I'm not a spammer, even though some people say I spam the forum, I just came to be a better mantis rearer (and because hibiscusmile talked me into it ). so what is a spammer, someone who posts things that contain viruses and spyware and that kind of stuff?
