Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
Thanks Rebbonk!
I think I've removed 25 posts today.

Right; the spammers with the email suffixes:
forcemix.online
selovin.art
yagoo.website
yandex.com
***.ua
***.ru
give up, because we're not going to get bored of deleting your accounts as spam.
I've done a little digging...
We are currently using an issue of Vbulletin that is no longer supported. The spammers have likely found a way in and whereas before Vbulletin would issue a patch, that isn't going to happen.
I see two possible options...
1) upgrade to the latest issue of Vbulletin. - That will likely have cost implications.
2) vet new members before they are allowed to post. - My assumptions are that we can actually do that (from memory we should be able to) and that the spammers aren't using a backdoor.

Thanks Rebbonk. Admin Will & I have discussed upgrading to a newer version of VBulletin, and it's on the agenda - just a matter of finding time in busy lives to do it!
Dodgy posts are automatically submitted for moderation, so we can vet/delete them before they can be generally viewed.
Again, thanks for your ongoing efforts, Rebbonk!
