A couple of things to do:

1. Login into cpaptalk under your username, click the thread, and click the "Report Spam" button in the top right corner of the thread

2. Post under the thread as a guest with name "SPAM-SPAM-SPAM" if no one else has. From the home page, the last guest name of "SPAM-SPAM-SPAM" will let people know not to even bother with the thread

3. Ignore the retarded spammers and continue these tips!

4. Find the spammers address, prank call them, send them junk-mail, and toilet-paper their house!

IP BAN

you are using PHPBB, go into the admin control panel and ban the spammer's IP address, if neccessary ban a whole block of IP's

you can also set it so that one must register to post, but not to read
