Yes I do. But I had not been moderated until the post I mentioned
above. I have made probably 20 or 30 posts since the subject of
Moderating came up. With the one mentioned above being the first to
trigger the event. So from my thinking, either Last.FM is ignored or
one simple URL in the signature is ignored.

Actually as a case in point, the post about being moderated for the
first time posted immediately as did the edit to that post. This Forum
has very good Admin's and Moderators and I feel sure about them getting
the bumps worked out. The Spam, blatant advertising, and signature
violations were getting out of hand.

I really hate to talk about limiting access, but it could be getting to
a point that everybody's first 5 or 10 posts need to be moderated
automatically. That way the spammer are prevented and spotted
immediately to be banned. I really hate suggesting that because I would
think that newbies first posts are about asking for help. Penalizing new
Forum members from getting quick help to prevent the advertising SPAM
seems like a last resort approach to me. But the way things have been
the last couple of weeks, it's hard to say. I also don't know what the
software can be tweaked to handle and do. So there could be much easier
and better ways to handle this. As in, is there a key word table that
might include the word Sale, Sell, or $ that would trigger the post to
be moderated. 

I know I reported at least 60 advertising Spams in February and 10 or
so users using Username & Forum Signatures as advertising IE Replica
Handbags. A normal month used to be 3 to 5 a month.
