These last weeks there are regularly spams on the forum concerning kitchens.
It sometimes takes a long time before these posts are deleted even after reporting ( reasons for slow deletion unknown)
Perhaps the " Tech Team" could filter incoming messages containing the word "kitchen" and let them be whitelisted by a mod or admin before publishing?
Yeah, I just saw one and went to report it only to find someone had beaten me to it (maybe you, Pepe). Mind you, that is the first one I've seen about Kitchens.

They're all over MrE too
Probably me Pete. I already reported half a dozen lately and I'm not online very often these days..Originally Posted by Pete_UK
I've reported several myself this week and last. I think that it may be possible for the Tech team to block the IP addresses as they seem to be changing their user name.

I have passed on this info to the tech team to block the host IPs.

Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]
They'll just find another one. They use a lot of different IPs and sometimes IPs that have been used by non-spammers so personally I wouldn't recommend that. They are a plague at the moment though.

I have lost count of the number I have banned, and in some cases, its just the last part of the IP that changes.
I have been making a list at work, but Im at home now - I did post them in another thread though, I think it was in the Mod forum
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

"Kitchen spamming" is heavy today. Is it that difficult to implement what I suggested in post #1 ?
I've reported at least 4 today (lost count of the exact number).

All these IPs are from Semarang, Indonesia

If MrE has the same problem, why not contact them and work together ( exchange info etc..) to block these spams?
