It seems OpenNETCF can't go long without getting some jackass spammer having to ply their nefarious trade agaianst us.  This time they've got a bot that generaes user accounts for the Forums, then posts new topics and replies.  In the user signature they have links to an online casino.

So yet again, instead of doing productive work (writing a Deployment article), I'm sitting at my PC adding a Mod to the Forums to allow me to ban IP addresses.  Hopefully this will cure it.  If they become more persistent, then I guess we'll have to go to moderation or something similar.

For anyone collecting the data, or wishing to call a spammer on the phone, or are an anti-spammer that can use the info, here's the info on this one:
