About spam - Poc 13 - 08-03-2014 10:13 AM
I just checked to see who was online, and 2 of the members were "Google" and "Yahoo!" Are those actual accounts...? If not couldn't you just ban them to stop the spam?

Those aren't spambots, they've been there for a while. Google and Yahoo bots constantly crawl websites for their search engines.

I've yet to find a forum with no google bot looking through it.
