All the spam-bots seem to have female names. As a precautionary measure, we should therefore block all users with female names, except for @Jennifer of course. Just kidding.
Amazoniac says I’m sponsored by Applegate so I don’t know if that makes me just as spammy as the barbie-bots, but I think I can fly under the radar if I change my handle to ChiseledJawChadDrivesBigTruck.

Totally happy to make changes if there's a consensus among mods and users. Seems like an easy fix would be to rate limit first day new threads to something like 3.

It could do the job. OK for me.

It seems like the spam has stopped anyway knock on wood or I missed it. But sounds like a good idea.

A limit of 3 new threads for the first day is a very generous compromise and it will get the job done.

Well so much for the idea that the the spam was only going to be 200 new posts at a go.

*006 behaviour. Imposter!
Please ignore/block them for now. I'll clean them up when I'm at a bigger screen.

Why can't membership to the forum be more difficult to get so that only humans can enter?

The laziness is insane.

@jamezb46 Or as someone said before hand... litterally cap the posts for a new account to a few posts and comments for the first day. If a real account wants to post more, he or she can wait a day, it's not deep.
