I am sure there has got to be a way to stop the people from spamming. Please. It is getting out of control now. These perfect swing posts are killing me/us.

I posted a topic at the same time:

I went to the advertised website.
Send this guy an email.
spam them for a change;
david@golfswingguru.net

Here's what i wrote him:
I belong to a website called stracka and we are constantly being
spammed by people advertising your website. Pissing people off is no
way to promote business.
Even if there is value to your product, I will never use it because of
the method of delivery.

Can we review all forums and blogs BEFORE they get posted?

If it is a question of manpower, I'm sure there are those of us that would volunteer.

When a new post is created, it goes to someone.
If they determine it is SPAM, it does not get posted and an email is sent back to the sender.
Or, to be fair, have 2 or 3 people look at the same post.

Just make sure to flag the persons profile. There is now a questionaire for when you flag them. I assume if enough profiles are flagged from the same domains, they won't be able to come back.
