Thanks, that probably would help. Those not familiar with this long running issue, here is the background
Background
There are only 2 parties involved . Bob Sim vs F4 gang, breakdown of what was once a friendship of 5 people. This began in the previous SBF and had continued unabated. Occasionally and unknowlingly have few others have gotten involved but in the main its the same 2 parties.
The issue is not the original posts as most of us write rubbish anyway. Its the spamming that follows. Spamming as you know is never tolerated even amongst worst managed forums simply because of its repititious nature. Even Eeinstein's theory of relativity if spammed would not be tolerated.
The only benefit is the higher than expected ranking in Alexa.
99.999% of forum members can exercise discipline and not respond nor reply. That however does not mitigate the issue as can been seen when they were left to their own devices in the Politics forum. The rest just ignored the 2 parties and left the politics folder in the main. However they have moved to the coffeeshop folder. As it takes 2 hands to clap, it only takes 2 parties to spam till kingdom come in a tit for tat mode.
So, any more suggestions from the 99.999% of members that are not involved on how to handle the 2 parties.
Maybe Sam can take a look at these vBulletin plug-in/implementation for multiple account detection or prevention.
