This is really beginning to stick in my craw. What a loser. If it's the case that his IP can't be banned because it's changing all the time (and I presume this forum software has the ability to ban IP's) then there's a good chance he's posting through the Tor network. Complete lists of current Tor nodes, which are frequently updated, are readily available for example here: https://www.dan.me.uk/tornodes - this one is updated every 30 minutes. 
 
I have no idea if Cakewalk is already blocking Tor nodes, but if it isn't then PLEASE would you consider adding them to an IP ban list because TONS of this spam BS is posted from them.

Don't give him ideas. I flagged a few just now.

I tagged some, as well.
 
Once he gets 3 flags, I believe the rest are conditionally approved, and then he gets the user name deleted.

Ideas? He's a full scale forum spammer. Of course he's using some kind of proxy. And even if I've just enlightened him (her/it) with the idea of using Tor, then adding Tor nodes to a ban list would put paid to that.

And then he just goes ahead and signs up for a new account from another email address, using a proxy to do it from another IP. We can either sit back and put up with this BS over and over, or Cakewalk can take steps to ban posting from proxies. It's certainly possible.

Yeah - he is already unable to actually get any more content posted - you will see it in the list for a short while, but the message thread content will not get accepted, and his profile name will be deleted.
 
This crap usually show up around this time in the morning, and folks tag it as spam right away, so it's not too bad, other than the guy being a douche in the first place.

I got # 3.. Last night it was the same time I think and I tagged a dozen, they were showing up as fast as I could tag them. I created another account and logged on in a different browser and tagged them again. They were only on the page for 15 minutes. 
 
I also reported abuse,, Is that a good Idea too?

No need to report it, the staff see the spam flags.

But the thing is that it happens on a regular basis and it's going to happen over and over. If it's not this guy then it's the kitchen loon. I'd much rather not see it at all then have to keep flagging it.
