The admins aren't around and don't give a shit. We have mods, but they can't do anything to prevent it.

Forums have been heavily spammed in the past few days..I've reported several new members for being serial spammers..some within 20mins of them joining & posting...& most from India..

Just that today the mods/admin/those with the power to delete these accounts appear to be taking a nap..

I thought "i like GTI's" was code for butt stuff. Wait is everyone actually here for the cars?

The mods are volunteers and work their own full time jobs. @jay745 said that he has personally deleted over 3000 spam threads in the last few weeks.

I'd have thought they would be able to just "deleted all content from this member"...instead of having to delete every single post...

I mean the profiles have been deleted but the posts are still there from the latest two spammers...

I don’t know nothing about running a forum, but would it be possible to limit the amount of posts a new member can publish?

Just passing along what jay745 has said. It's a new member every time using a VPN so they can't block the IP address.

yes but only at Admin level. As mentioned the mods do this for nothing and really don't have access to many controls or even much access to admin (Mod on a Mustang forum).
