Spammers are the lowest of the low IMHO.

When Joe opened up the board to allowing "unregistered" to leave comments, he knew this could happen.

This is why he gave a couple of us the power to physically remove such unwanted messages.

If the spammer actually registers, then we have a name we can block/ban. If the spammer does not register, we just have to keep on their tail and delete as they come up. Joe may have had a different way to take care of such unwelcome "unregistereds" but my power is limited to the above.
