Some different spam prevention added, appears to be working out the moment.

Re: Increase in Spammers
Please folks if you see spam posts or potential spam posts then please report them via the ! in the bottom left button.
Please please please DO NOT QUOTE their post in any of your responses to the thread.
If they have started a new thread then please do not reply to it either.
Doing so makes far more work tidying up the spam and potentially leaves their links in the thread even after the original spam has been removed.
Deleting multiple posts from one spam user is simple enough with just a few mouse clicks. Reading every new post on the forum and deleting all the times they have been quoted or spam threads replied to is far more labour intensive so please don't do it!

Just spotted a couple of obvious spammy posts while rummaging through & catching up - will go back and flag them.

I wondered what the (!) spot meant, I hope others realise this is what it's for.
