Deleting spammers (Alislia17, for example)

I often come to the boards in the morning and see almost EVERY thread in my usual topics (Chat, Aibu, Feminism, Conception, Relationships) peppered with deletions, most recently from a poster named Alislia17.

Surely it should be possible for @MNHQ to see this sort of activity happening, and swiftly block the poster?

Morning, and apologies to those affected. There's been a festival of spam lately from some very determined spammers.

We caught the spammer at around 5.30am, banned them, and removed all their posts.

As always, a huge thank you to the Night Watchers who were first on the scene - and to all the members who reported the spam.

At MNHQ, we're continuing to look into further solutions to stop spam being posted on the boards.

We're looking at ways to swiftly identify and block the blasted spammers. Apologies again for the disruption - but hopefully we'll come up with something robust and workable. Please bear with us.
And - I don't need to say it, but I will - another huge thank you to the Nightwatchers - you're brilliant.
