Figured I'd create a thread for reporting spambots which may be missed as I just found one:

It certainly was a hard one to spot, looked like a normal post on first look, had to do a double take before realising it was a bot!

No, he was a legitimate poster who, for some reason, decided to go and edit his 2 year old posts and replace what he wrote with "Ba"

I've removed the link from that one as I think the post itself is reasonably amusing given the context of the thread. Feel free to purge it anyway shane if you'd like.

Shane, here's an idea, make it harder for bots to make accounts, this one posted with scam within minutes of signing up. Add a captcha to account creation and all the forum's spambot troubles will magically be gone.

We did have a captcha system on registration but unfortunately they can still get through. Captcha systems are more of a annoyance to end users trying to work out what they need to type in then they are to spammers. We have multiple layers of spam prevention already in place on the site and whilst it does it's job most of the time (it's constantly catching spam accounts and banning them) some do slip through.

Possibly the moderators could only delete the threads and not ban the account :
Here are 3 more for this guy!

Hey Shane, could you ban this bot please? It has been spamposting several threads across several boards with this medical scam stuff every day now.
The threads get deleted but you need to straight up ban it. It's getting exponentially more spammy as time goes on.

Winnienie interesting kind of spam. Instead of the usual rambling nonsense about how you need a monster-truck dick, this is just advertising some stupid gold website, but featuring a large drawing.
