Whether or not the software allows this, I don't know. If it does (and it probably has something like this, it's a very comprehensive bit of software) then it's not activated. Only an Admin (meaning, in this case, Mike) would be able to change this, not a Moderator, or even a Super Moderator

Personally, unlike some forums I frequent, I don't think spam here really worth bothering about. There are not that many spam posts - to date, we have dealt with 18 this month. Most of them are fairly innocuous and not likely to offend - and they get cleared out very quickly. Both Mike and I visit the forum regularly (at least twice a day in my case, often a lot more) and any spam post is instantly removed, the user account deleted and the user banned (one click is all it needs). In fact, most of them are never even reported, as they get sorted before legitimate users even see them.
