The YBF site simply does not have the manpower to keep the spam deleted in a timely manner. My time as well at that of the other moderators is better spent doing other things rather than continually deleting spam and also blocking the IP addresses of those spammers. While most of the spam is originating from the Ukraine and Russia, there's still a given amount from the rest of the world including the United States. I think Australia is the only country the YBF site has never had any spam originate from.


Hence the need to just keep the spammers at bay. This is easily accomplished by limiting the registration times so the spammers cannot register on the site. If someone would like to register on the YBF site, just email me and I'll arrange for a time window for that purpose. My contact information can be found on one of the sticky notes on the YBF forums.
