The spammer posted the image with a compliation of gay porn pics, and then below that he posted a picture of some software he was using followed by him saying "open source software, blah blah blah"... so, yeah not a bot.

Remember that there's an ignore function called "add foe". The topics still show up in the forum list, but the person's posts become blank.... I still suggest it makes the forum posts and topics completely disappear.

Thats what he posted along with some sick pictures of naked old men :x

Why don't you just install a mod that removes posting privileges if keywords are found. Thats what we do with lockerz.

I admit having CAPTCHA on all posts would be insanely annoying.
I shudder to think at the sheer volume of moral outrage that would be produced by this, as apparently this is what happens when you add 30 seconds to registration (scroll down to "Rick-sama"'s posts).

There's lots of shock sites. Probably too many to track with keywords. Still, Privoxy or AdBlock could stop this encyclopediadramatica place on a per-user basis.

Wouldn't that result in a bunch of idiots posting 99 times in order to get rid of the captcha?
