A couple have been posted and folks have used the report post button. I then delete the thread and ban the user.
As for catching them early, I watch the userlist to see the latest users. Most spammers user a bunch of random characters as the name. i then check the registration info for email address and IP. If the email looks generated then they are usually nuked. Most of the problems are coming from APNIC IPs as well. Fun huh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
