It has been a BIG problem for forum. Users come here to spam and they write about 1 to 2 lines as title of thread which is just an advertisement usually. Forum thread titles rarely need to be that long. 

Second annoying thing is UPPER CASE used in title of thread. They not only do it once but keep doing it. Recent examples r trading discussion section, free forex trading system section and expert advisor section. 

 

So my suggestion is to disable "upper case" in threads and specify a maximum length for title of a threead.

Yea. It was not a problem in the past coz it was rare incident. But now it is becoming frequent and new users r spamming using it. I think CAPs should be restricted.

Yes, especially the upper case should not be allowed. Sentence case looks better and approrpiate.

Stick to your rules

At last, a big spamer is banned I think. His posts r removed so most probably he wont be able to post again.

Thx to fxstat admin for removing spam posts.

Spam was increased recently but now again it is under control after ban of that user.

It is not a comment but simply spam.
