Also please delete his posts, they are so obviously spam. Maybe restrict new users/low ranking from posting more than so many characters in a post until they rank up a bit, and restrict them for the first 3 days to some introduction forum./

We do our best,guys :) And we ban up to 10 Spam accounts daily. And no, they aren't tired to create new ones. I can tell you more, they aren't robots, they are humans, and I have no idea why they keep spamming us :) And while we wait for a solution from our forum devs, Robert and I are doing our best to keep our forum clean :)
I got a solution for you. put a limit to how many topics a person can create a day. I guarantee you no one's going to create more than two topics a day,and if this doesn't stop them at least it makes them work harder to spam

Many of his threads were started on August 11 and they are spamming down page one and page two and maybe more.........
Sounds like maybe he won a huge amount of money at The Korean Casino and then his Kid joined Plarium who took him to the cleaners and he is furious. ;)zenki said:Spam can be annoying, but imagine, that there's a real person sitting in front of his PC, posting hundreds of threads about some Korean casino, each day, after we delete all his work :DBomb dropper continues!
funny?!
All you must do is require new members to post in an introductions Thread, then verify they are real players before authorizing them to post in forum. Also those who do not post in introductions ( not verified) can be limited new members to 2 posts per day. 3 posts per week. In the first 14 - 30 days.Hi! Thanks for the idea, Sir. Our forum devs are currently working on solutions and I think your suggestion can be useful :)

You make the assumption that a computer can't "verify it is human" too.
Computers have beaten people at Chess (IBM's Big Blue first did that years ago.) and the more elusive game of Oh.
They can drive cars (or trucks) and make decisions in real time.
They can do optical character recognition, as well as speech to text. Etc.
In short: Computers can do most of the things you think they can't do, including self programming through "deep thinking" as mentioned in one of MIT's publications.
Some years ago (20ish?) there was a guy named George that used a macro to make email accounts, then sign up for a game, and actually play the game for weeks. He was able to automate the process for hundreds of accounts simultaneously, including spoofing ISPs to prevent banning and ISP blocks.
It is easy to criticize the moderators for not doing "enough", but my experience has been that they are typically over worked and under paid, and more deserving of praise than complaints.
To the mods I say: thank you for all that you do.Well said, Commander! My respectRaging Bro said:
