it's not like nothing is being done, vanphils. however, admin has a life to attend to as well. maybe sharing the responsibility would help but I don't think there's anyone here who can dedicate the overwhelming amount of time needed to make sure that spam posts are deleted as soon as they're put up.

now, if you have a specific way/process in mind to get rid of these bots and annoying posts, please send admin a private message.

don't get me wrong, I understand PERFECTLY how spam can be frustratingly irritating but beyond marking the posts as spam and emailing admin, we can only wait.

I guess adding the requirement to identify a captcha image is the way most forums do it. It's a little annoying but having the General Book discussion filled with 4 full pages of spam topics is much more annoying than any captcha :)
This would be worth reading:

Well, i can do that jemchan. Kahit to delete those spam posts lang ang power ko. I know I'm not that active with forum posting since hindi ako maka-rolyo ng maige sa pagbabasa and I'm still waiting for my BoTM copy. Lagi naman akong online, I can delete those spam posts. Willing to be a janitress. Hehehe

Actually, I see now there already is a captcha image for registration, maybe check the ip address of the members posting spam and block those IP addresses.

Yeah, it's really a lot now. There might be more spam topics than real topics on the forum now. It's a real problem.
