We lowly moderators (there were only two of us) had no ability to change anything in the forum setup. We did the best we could for as long as we could to delete the spam entries every day. Several of the users joined together to start a new forum, with multiple admins, and better anti-spam setup. freebsdforums/bsdforums is all but dead. http://www.daemonforums.org is where we all hang out now. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
