I hope Phil has a way to at least ban IP addresses to make it harder to keep joining. Might have to re-make the signup process to include an actual e-mail response from noobs proving who they are.

I agree..steffs post used to he ok...maybe one pop up and then lately its the same deluge of spam and malware.
If the hosting place is the one to blame then maybe we should have a board rule that says that hosting company isnt allowed for images here. We tell the poster to use any of the other free hosting sites.
We all know that the posters are getting money for each popup and spam links...so it is outside of the camaraderie spirit of the board...specially when they posti g pictures from paid web sites

I don't think you can tell them anything, they don't read their PM's nor would answer if they did. I say make the registration process MUCH harder to join this board. There are ways we can eliminate it, but it's up to the Admin.

Perhaps we should put in the faq or forum rules that indicates hosting company limitations or guidance and if they are in violation they have a chance to correct their action and if not they get the boot.
Not sure if making things harder would be a solution...we also dont want to scare away people if we make it too hard to join!
So far it seems if we all flag the post they are getting removed.

I feel you your pain with Chrome locking up, or worse when it floods you with an unstoppable cascade of pop-ups and I have to do a hard system reboot

IPs have been banned, as have email addresses. With so many ways for people to sign in (phone, tablet, watch, computer, etc.), IPs aren't always the answer like it used to be. People you've mentioned have had their emails and multiple IPs banned and they still resurface, sadly.
