According to the User list, only profile tramq0193 has been banned so far. Why was that?
No mercy for spambots!

Thanks for noticing that! I'm not sure if banning the spammers really helps, as it seems that they only post once and then register a new account again, most likely with another IP address.
I still have to find a solution that can really prevent spam. Most of the easy solutions don't seem to work, so probably we'll have to use something like Captcha. I will look into that later, but for now I'll just have to remove the spam manually.
I'm sorry if the spam, that might survive sometimes for a few days, is causing any inconvenience.
