Members from other site spaming my site

Hi

Can you help

I have people coming on to my site from another chat site and posting stuff like ChatzWorld sucks join (their site link) and posting on members profiles we miss you come back to (their site link) as well as that sending out pms to users saying the same.

They have also been spamming our forums with the same.

What can I do?

I have had to ban 5 people now for doing this and they are all coming from the same website. I contacted there website owner but got no reply at all from them

Thanks

make it so you have to have like 10 posts to PM. watch the site like a hawk, install good ip and cookie detection for double names and ban ban ban, ip ban, then ban some more.

then go to thier site with like 10 other people and spam them back.....

last part is optional, it is WWCD though.....
take no prisoners.
