Hundreds of emails! I would be glad to help but I am not a moderator.
Whoever this is, is using a bot to continue to scam everyone on the board.

Hi Chip. I've deleted the spam posts and banned the users, but they'll just create new ones. I don't have any way to stop them from creating new accounts.

Ben, I will never understand why someone wants to spam the users of a bulletin board hundreds of times. It serves no purpose. But I am not a scammer/spammer, and I know they do it all of the time. Some use the site as a home base to spam the entire internet. I maintain two websites but use Wordpress. For those sites I use an add-on called "New User Approve" and another called "Ban Hammer." They both work as intended! Good luck!

I'm not a top-level admin on this forum so don't have the ability to change any policy, etc. I don't even know what anti-spam options ProBoards has (if any).

Yep, it's John. I'll reach out to him to see if he can bump me up in permissions. Maybe there's something that can be done to reduce spam on the board.
