What is with all the BS spam?

I am seeing more and more BS spam come from newly registered posters...

All of these BS posts come with three or so pictures attempted to be posted after some stupid line copied from earier in the thead with links like"http://hicag.mhcomputer.com/9.jpg"

with the links all going to advertizements.

Here's an example:

The 2 layer would be more preferable for tracks.

I report all I see, but it seems that we are being infested with them.

Is there anyway to block them? are they coming from random IPs?

Hi,

Spam is part of the internet and Evom is a very large and active community. The only way to keep out a human spammer is to block new registrations. The 'copy cat' spammers copy and paste content from a previous post then add a link. They rotate IPs (never use the same one) using IP changers and a proxy servers. We proactively block most, but some do get through our antispam tools and we quickly remove when we (you) find them. The fact is that the actual number of spam posts are a very tiny percentage of new unique posts on Evom. Please continue to report them and we'll continue to look for tools to block them. Thanks.

Bob
