Thanks. We seem to have missed that one. It's gone now though.

Geez, that spam takes about 5 seconds to scroll thru. If most of the spam comes from bots maybe installing some sort of VIP code - you have to enter a number which is displayed somewhere on the page (or even another page on the site), it is stopping the bots from my forum...well, for the time being anyway.

we don't have an official policy. yes, a link in your signature is allowed. if we notice lots of links, plus minimal or no useful content in posts, then the links and/or posts may be removed.. the (now deleted) posts reported above were posts simply containing tons of links and nothing else, clearly spam..
