Oh my. Did you report the posts? That's a start.

Are you talking about your own posts? |

Are you talking about your own posts? Not me, Not me. Je suis desolate  But now that you mention it, for cold hard cash (high six figures), I could be convinced to turn my attentions elsewhere (all of which would immediately be donated to Penn State Women's VB). I would be sad, but I would take one for the team (actually 750K -- approximately $42K for each of my 18 threads since June 2014) Now, about the real spam threads that I was referring to? |

All I can do is delete them and ban the posters. Right now, it's not making much difference.
Odin is aware.

Well, see, that's the problem with an anonymous, unmoderated group like this. There is absolutely nothing that prevents a spammer from just making a new account and doing it again and again and again. The alternative is moderation on either new posts or new accounts, but a) that's a lot of work, and b) it doesn't fit with the spirit of the forum.
So basically we either need to radically change the forum or just live with it and hope the spammers decide it's not worth their time.

I've looked at the spammers stats and there is no way that they deserve to be on VT. There are a lot of spammers out there who are better at spamming. Just one more example of the South Asian bias that permeates the selection process. There are many Western Asia spammers who spam in a tougher area of cyber space and are being unjustly ignored.
