Or, at least, electronically force them to read the rules before they can register. You might be talking about the really obnoxious ones--I don't know. But, I think some people just don't know in the beginning....

Yesterday when I came online here I had to delete 6 accounts and all their posts and about about 12 threads , and deal with 2 members queries which meant spending approx 15 mins doing this before I could even begin to post anything myself.
If I was to edit all the posts individually and then start PMing reminders to people telling them to read the rules, then you could add about another half hour to that.
And the thing is only a small minority of these spammers bother coming back once they've got their spam posted to read these PMs.
