	If this spammer infiltrates the other sections as well, the Forum is in some trouble.

	Since I'm too lazy to keep posting the number of spams, I'll just paste a link here: http://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=viewprofile;username=7E7A73...

	Just thought I'd mention that this is the only non-spam thread in the first 100 threads (excluding important topics) of the News Forum.

	102 posts by the spammer now. @Michael Ayton I know that on other Forums, Moderators have control over the entire Forum instead of some sections. However, an alternative solution is to have an extra moderator in the 'News' and 'Discussion' section so that spam is deleted more quickly.

	77 posts. @Stigma I predict 24 hours. I hope Tony proves me wrong, though.

	Bumping this thread again so that it isn't relegated to the second page of 'News'.

Not a complete solution, obviously, but at least it would wash away some of the effluent. Good idea.
