The website should consider getting a few mods from a few different time zones.

It will be immediately obvious to every mod that the board is full of spam once they see it.

And just think...it could ALL go away if they'd just make a lvl 5 requirement to make threads in OT. Guess it would make too much sense though...

I don't remember seeing this much spam on the front page in any of the time I've been here. Mods need to get on this.

Unless people report it, nothing will happen. I report as much of it as I can, but it can be daunting after awhile.

I think I got rid of most of it. Just keep reporting it. It seems our spam filters don't work worth crap anymore and the team doesn't care as we're about to move to a new website. Going to be a few crappy weeks of spam I think.

I just woke up and saw it. If I was on sooner I would have gotten to it.

I've never seen spam that thick. Had to ban like 30+ different accounts and over 80 posts had to get purged. Mostly in OT.

Why not just do a level requirement and never have to worry about spam again?

Seriously, it would be so easy. It takes no time at all for real users to get to, say, level 5. Making it so people have to be level 5 would eliminate the spam since the spammers are usually level 1.

There is only so much they can do with the current forum software and setting level requirements seems to be something they can't do. Which reflects badly on them that they took so long to start fresh.

Yeah, it has gotten really bad the past couple of years, especially since the change in the ToU here it appears.

Today alone, I have reported 50 spam threads with all but one being about college football and that was about kitchens in the UK. :|

Back when I first started on this forum, Level 1 users could not start threads, I think you had to be a Level 3. Since the ToU change, it appears that now Level 1 users can do so.
