This a common thing here and it happen all the time :-). I think we should implement CAPTCHA in the account registration node. I guess this IRUWmOnEYVwZ is another electronic spammer ;).

Captcha won't help. The problem is the mods and admins are not taking care.

I'd say we write a "report spam" drupal module. It adds a link beside each node and people can use it to report spam. Maybe the module can unpublish the node and then the admin o mod can verify ?

I think unpublishing things by just pressing a botton can be abused by the cool trolls we have in the lug :)

may be something like that is used to report a spammer, not unpublish node or the comment.

captcha will greatly reduce the electronic spammers, and then we can use the reporting thing to make the moderators unpublish reported nodes/comments

Someone abusing it should be banned from using it.

The problem is: If the admins/mods don't check the recent comments and erase spam then I doubt spamming them with emails saying spam is here will lead to nothing also.
