Default Administrators!!!! Stop The Spammer Please!!!!

This qrst150 bastard has been spamming for days, and I'm sure it's been reported many times. Can someone delete this user already?

"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."

This is really annoying. The board has gotten hit hard in the last couple days. It seems like MM should increase the security when signing up for an account with image verification or something.

agreed... it's been a bit of a gond-show lately. If a new registration method is a bit out of the question, maybe some extra moderators who are online more often.

Moderators on this board can't delete users, ban them or stop posting. At this time the best thing is to report the post. Maybe indicate that there are numerous posts by this particular spammer then when someone with mod abilities signs on they can do a mass delete.
