    Hahahaha, reporting is time limited to same value than posting? The software gets sillier with every new discovery.

    You can't spam the admins with reports, because the spambots would also like to use the report functionality to tell them about great new deals :D

    We send wave after wave of our own men at them, until they reach their pre-set kill limit! - the Zapp Brannigan school of spam-boting

    Are you serious, people.

    First 10 Recent Posts pages are wall to wall spambots with FOUR actual threads between them. This is ridiculous, the forum is unusable.

    Admin, start doing your work, ffs.

    Seems the easiest way is to report the User, not each individual post.

    I report the user, and then ignore him, frankly. This both warns CB and removes, for me, the nuisance.

    Not really, each spambot seems to survive a day anyway. Each day there are new ones on.

    Change the policy for new users.
    1st post MUST be approved by moderators.
    Then feel free to spam.

    The situation may have been fixed, but we remain vigilant for the issue.

    I do not mean to diminish the labour or skill of CB IT staff, but I don't see any changes on the registration page and I can still use DOM manipulation to click CAPTCHA elements and call the audio challenge, that is being used by bots to get through CAPTCHA.

    Some changes are under the hood some are over, Spambot is a constant evolving landscape, we hope that, at least for now, we have dealt with it, we will see how it will evolve.
