I think that member is still alive, but disables the account, waits a while, re-enables the account, spams a little more, then disables the account again. Is that poossible?

Here is the link: Member 9717998[^]

I noticed that he spammed in the Delphi forum just 5 minutes ago.

Accounts can be recreated with the same username, but I am not sure what is going on with that one.

... this user[^]. It is getting worse, and it seems that as soon as we nuke one user, another one pops straight up.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Gone. Including the posts.

I've added some automatic spam sniffing. I'm assuming they are just going to work around it so I'll just have to keep updating as we go.

Judging by the article writing forum, they have already worked round it.

Just tried it and it worked for me, and the code I changed yesterday to prevent mis-votes is not dependant on member type. I'll keep an eye on it, though,

I've the same problem (in the "Uncategorised posts" forum and in the "Chinese topics" forum; I didn't test other forums because in the other forums there was no spam.).
If I click on "Spam", then I get the message "Rating is not enabled for this forum."

In some cases, my signature will be longer then my message...
