We've gone to great lengths to prevent spammers. We already use the captcha system. We also have another question that people have to answer to register. This prevents the bots from registering, but it doesn't prevent the human spammers. We ban spammers ip addresses. It's never enough.

You fail to realize that the "For Sale" spam you've been reporting the last few days have NO LINKS in them! 5 posts is plenty to post links. Raising it even higher is not going to prevent the spam threads that have no links in them. We aren't going to make people jump through hoops to post.

Sorry to say, but the spam is just part of having a large forum. It's just best to ignore it and report it and not let it frustrate you so much. It gets deleted as soon as possible, often before it even gets reported. The spammers aren't winning if it gets deleted quickly. No harm, no foul. One spam thread a day is nothing compared to amount that was posted in the prior months. It's been greatly reduced with the steps we've taken.
