SPAM on VTCoA

[SilvrSRT10]

I've been noticing an increase in SPAM threads popping up on the forum. Is there anything that can be done to the "Joining" process to eliminate this. If someones first post is about Viagra or some other nonsensical subject, it should be deleted and their account as well.

yes, the site admins can change the new user policy so that their first X number of posts (usually 10) are moderated.

Some are responding to posts like they are real. 3 things give them away as spam.
1. It almost always in the dyno section.
2. They put the little paper looking Icon next to the thread.
3. They have external links in their first post.
As soon as I see these I click on the report bad post icon. That sends messages to all the mods.
