Is there some way to permanently spam-proof, so that the poor mods don't have to spend all their time just deleting post after post? I even wouldn't mind if all links were disabled -- occasionally having to copy and paste would be less trouble than wading through kitchens. I don't know if disabling links would stop them, but it might be worth trying for a bit? How do other forums keep them away, I wonder? What is it that's so special about us and melanoma sufferers that lets them get in so easily?
I also wouldn't mind helping with spam-blasting if it's all we can do, but I don't think I've been here long enough or am nearly reliable enough to be worthy of the sexy spring green name that comes with it. (Plus, I'm about to go off to the U.S. for a month and will lose the whole time zone advantage.)
Hmmm . . . I don't know anything about HTML, so it might be impossible, but is there any way we could pinpoint them? Are they all posting links to the same site? Could we somehow make it so that if you post a link to just that site your account gets instantly deleted? Is that dumb and impossible?

Zilla (December 2013) is unstoppable. And really likes pizza.
Turtle (November 2015) isn't cute yet, but he's working on it.
