Let me elaborate a little more on the "spammers". I have had a good network of spies out there who email me when they see the spam. It is usually travel websites, sneaker sales etc. Where we have really been having problems....is the intial sign up of new members...nasty stuff has been happening there.....lots of porn....lots of nasty stuff. So Charles has put in some filters and blocks...one of the things is prohibitive...they can put a signature or website in until a certain number of  posts have been made. Same thing a complete newbie won't be able to post a pic right away.
