Haha good question. You should ask the spammers.

You can't fully avoid it and I'm not 24 hours online for banning and deleting immediately. If it heaps up I will ask the admin to change the captcha settings again.

However, if you found spam then report the post (if you're logged in you will find an exclamation mark in the lower right corner) or notify me via PM.
BTW: Thanks to !k who always reports those posts and topics (and never gave me a chance to find them myself :lol:).

Such a small little (!). .-.

It should say like "Report" on it or something.
