What's up with all the spam posts?

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.

Another vicious bot attack this morning @brad'ster. If this is possible I think it's a good idea.

@ThinPicking Hell, even restrict the amount of comments and posts an account can make within the first 2 hours of creation!

The most notorious spam accounts will create all their spam within an hour and never login again afterwards.

For example, yori007 was created, made a bunch of mess within the first hour of creation, and didn't log back in after the first hour

I sense a little emphasis on machines here.

It's quite fascinating really. This. This is the plan apparently.

Laziness or aversion to actual speech. Even that which is written and 'anon'.

Well, it looks like the admin team has been busy banning new users. 8 new users (by my quick count) were banned within a few hours. Thank you.

The spamsters seem intent on being mischievous.

I am wondering to myself if (or how) the situation will escalate.

The account may have been quickly banned to prevent them from creating additional new posts.
