Suggestion to the new site admin (or if someone else is handling this aspect of the site) regarding spam posts in the forum:

It wasn’t a super frequent occurence, but occasionally a human (or perhaps a really good bot) would get past the simple checks that keep out the vast majority of those non-legit accounts/posts. Easy way to deal with that (like the one that’s in the marketplace at the moment) is to first delete all of the comments by that user and then ban the user. Quick 2-step operation that keeps us ignorant of hot singles in our area and lingerie deals (time and place, but perhaps a different forum for that).
