THANK YOU TE and the forum administrators for dealing with this. I know these statistics are from those things that get caught automatically, but it makes me wonder how many posts get past the spam software that the rest of us doesn't see...
Spam-O-Matic is the best thing since sliced bread, I kid you not! The largest number of spam posts by one person I've nuked was about 170. None of them made it past the moderation wall. And no, I didn't have to delete each post. The software manages to search and find all posts by person that is being nuked, and deletes them all. It's lovely.
