I don't screen individual users - users may self register and self verify.

I'm sure many people would enjoy being moderators or administrators, but the reality is that the number of members we've got doesn't justify having more than the number of moderators we have currently. The three of us try hard to keep the forum clean and free of spam, and I do my best to delete members that we think are spammers. And members that confirm that suspicion by managing to post before I can delete the account are publicly flogged by having their IP and email addresses posted. That last bit may be ineffective, but it makes me feel better.

Spam is difficult to manage. It requires patience from everybody. I know some things that a spammer posts are contentious, disturbing, or of an adult nature, but I'm very confident that even the youngest members we have here are mature enough to deal with the subject matter.

Is there anything I can do to help clarify how we handle spam or spammers?

Thanks for the feedback!
