mate, like i've on more than one occasion, these are REAL people, not automated, its impossible to stop real people from posting on a public forum.... They post from different IP's that appear to come from europe, so cant block by country and they connect via proxies from outside of China - therefore if i blocked these IP ranges most of europe wont be able to connect to the site. Every moderator on here has the ability to use the forum tools to remove spam easily, and this is what we are currently doing as the only way to address is to be re-active as opposed to being pro-active.... sorry,
