Spam again. Spammers are using the same background color.
 

I'm getting all kinds of 'new' spam attacks on my forum. The one I'm posting about now is this: spammers hide links by making the color of the link the same color as the background of the forum.

I swear, if vBulletin would just give me the option to disable links by usergroup, I'd more spam free. Or better, if a usergroup makes a post with an email address or link, their post would be moderated. Yes, I know there's a hack over at vBulletin.org for that. It's just a pain to keep updating hacks and templates and upgrades and all that.

May as well talk about the other spam problem I'm having. I seem to have gotten on some kind of list--I'm getting people joining up solely to post on threads that have good search engine rankings. I'm getting obviously on-topic (but still pretty useless) replies to them with attempts to post links in the replies.
