Are there not controls/probation period to prevent someone from signing up and then spamming a thousand posts? Maybe limit new users to 1 post and 5 replies a day for the first week. Or something restrictive.

Attached a screenshot, in case this post survives after the rest get removed. I think there's about 4 pages of it. Wow!

Mods have a job for this morning, that's for sure.

I reported them this morning. This is the second time in a few days that Spammer gone crazy with pages and pages rapid fire.

I see that the posts have many views. Does anyone else report as spam when they see it?

Those 115 bot threads that infested the General Section today are now part of 'The Big Void'.

Not sharing the details how we operate "Annihilation Mode", but do know that it only takes a few clicks to ban a bot and to nuke the full contents of the spam posts (hard delete).

Crippled and vaporized in just a few moments without leaving a shred, bit or byte.
