Why all this spam?

[Meganolvt]

Isn't there anything that can be done to stop all these spammy posts all over this forum? It's so frustrating!

It have been brought up before http://www.beardeddragonforum.com/threads/whats-up-with-that.18145/#post-137761 and there is not much they can do other than remove each morning as long as the forum is open for everyone.

It is annoying, more so for the staff here who have to clean it all up every day. Maybe a capcha or botcheck should be required when creating a new thread? I cant think of another way

Sorry, seems like losers have nothing better to do but spam forums about animals. We try to get to it each morning but sometimes life comes first. My father recently passed away and he lived in another state so i've been traveling a lot to take care of things. I asked the page owner once what we could do, and he said that the only thing we could do was manually approve everyone that wants to join, which is even more of a pain in the ass than just deleting the threads.

I don't really mind them too much, I probably only see them as much as I do because of my timezone, I am guessing most if not all of the mods are American And they are taken care of pretty quickly most days.

Yes we all try very hard to get to them as they come.. I am typically online throughout the day nuking them as they come and I log on here first thing every morning sometimes I beat Patsy to them and sometimes she beats me lol Anyways there isn't anything we can do and just scroll past them and know that we get to them as quickly as we can. But they sometimes are like 20-40 of them we have to delete each time..

Admins can deal with it more efficiently while Mods usually only ban/delete. It's tedious work.
