It's more a case of when we see it, we delete it. We're not always in the Newbie discussion forum but we do tend to spend quite a bit of time in here helping newer members out. The 50 post restriction generally keeps the spammers confined to the Newbie discussion forum and gives us a chance to get rid of them before they can disrupt discussion on the main forums. Some people do follow the links, or at least they have done in the past - that's why they keep coming back, unfortunately. Libertas
