We are experiencing an issue

We are experiencing an issue with the script that deletes the spammers. In the mean time, I am attending to them manually but am simply unable to monitor non-stop. Will do the best I can and hope you all will understand if some slip thru and sit on the boards for a bit before I get to them.

Thank You CyberLN.

Thank You CyberLN.

I just thought the bot had been deactivated. Sometimes I wish I could delete those pesky things myself.

Again, many many thanks. You are a hero to me for all you do for these boards.

I think we need to create an AR Uncommon Valor Medal...

Wouldn't a good solution to

Wouldn't a good solution to the spammer issue be a time requirement? For example, that you can only start one thread per hour, or per day. Most people who are not spamming don't start more than a single thread per day, since they typically want to engage with that thread instead of starting a new one.

I think Breezy's idea of blocking a certain number of threads per hour could be a good way of getting rid of the spam. If that's possible to do...

(Edit: the name of the user who opens the thread is the same in each attack)
