Indeed Bromp, it isn't helping make the site enjoyable for anyone, this one is particularly annoying, doubly so i imagine for people on smart phones where page space is an issue.
We've had several posters offer to help out to quash rubbish like this as it arrives, which IMHO would help deter prolific half wits like the current, when he sees his work of the moment vanish as fast as he can upload it, plus have to reregister each time as his account gets zapped, he'll get fed up clear off and look for easier pickings.
Its just a shame that they can't ban people with certain IP addresses (including areas if there are such things) rather than usernames, which can more easily be changed.
Perhaps also the system could limit new users to a maximum number of posts per week/month and also the number of threads they can start, until they 'prove themselves' by at least not posting spam.
I think also any spam related emails they may (have to) send to people who spam to say (and why) their account has been closed should go from a different email address than, sa, moderators@.... or suchlike - one that is for outgoing mail only so that any 'replies' can be automatically deleted so not to clog up their IT systems.
