You can also 1X1 img tag his affiliate code into your most active pages... Sooner or later, PP will disable his account for the bullshit factor.

Contacted poker party and I guess it helped. I'm still getting the spam but the URL's are gone!

This afternoon the spam totally disappeared so contacting party poker must have done some good!

good to hear you got it resolved!

The problem with blacklist filters is, in a matter of hours, the spammers will start playing the same games they're playing on email spam:

vi@gr@ instead of viagra
c1al1s instead of cialis

keyword filters don't work for long, very short term fix
