There are that many? Anyway, whenever I see threads I ban 'em before someone else lol, but yeah, these spams are ridicilous. There are so many of them.

There's probably not as many as we think. If I'm still correct toucharcade doesn't ip ban but instead bans the browser... It's weird, It's what happened when I have my 1 week time out. So considering there's 6 available web browsers and all these spammers are using a windows based computer we are definitely seeing multiple of the same people. But still that means for every 6 accounts there's 1 spammer/computer.. That's still insane.

Nothing was ever done, he's still using TA to advertise it.
I don't bother any longer....

The Spam Police Team isn`t equal with the Mods of the Forum. I did report a few things a Week ago and they are still not changed so it might just take this Time a little longer then the usual Instant Change.

Don`t forget that everyone of the Mod/Spam Police Team is doing it voluntary so TA isn`t our source of life if it comes to paying Bills so all of us have to do some other Stuff too.

Besides that:

Drop me a DM and I will see if I can get that Guys Ass Banned.

Thanks for the response. Yea, the spam police are a elite group of their own I realize and its all voluntary (along w/ the mods). Didn't know where to go after reporting it so posted of it here. No big deal to me but I'm sure other's are wondering why they can't post their sites or blogs after seeing it.

On behalf of the TA members, I thank the Spam Police.

Why do I envision the SP in white hats n' horses all of a sudden

Don't thank us, thank the moderators!

Our power is too limited to perform a task that grand.
