Oh no... that's what I was afraid of when I posted this:

Anyway, thank you for the hard work on the boards.

how many IDs have these bots registered already ? I fear the big crowd of bots have not posted yet, but has already registered, maybe that's why the additional security question has no effect ? as they simply registered before that took effect.
Those were viewers, in most threads you got spikes with x viewers 1 member x-1 guests.

Which is a type of DDOS. Whether from reddit, whether from google (or google tricking cheaters pagerank blowing spammers)...

What is going to kill us is those spam threads:
1. few posts with lots of links, google algorithm is safe, those are ranked low
2. maemo.org has a lot of links to mass events, people keep searching
3. the 400+ viewers threads have one or 2 links (one spanish version, or so called) but on a board logged with many links to that
4. profit
5. maemo.org dead

Google fix your **** up!

Nooooo, they are back. Maybe my tip can be something then? Also, maybe we should have a restriction for how many treads a member can start a day or a mouth? Or if itīs possible, have that restriction only in the games section? (or misspell that one to gaijms or something very cool...:>)

Yeah, fight with the fact games subforum is most indexed by google. Then close Development, then Applications, leave only mod forums, those are not tracked. Spam gone.
Sadly, next step is captcha even on quick replies.
As long as people stop searching google for answers ending here, it will be a bounty for rankers.

How about posters with less than 10 posts can only make 1 new post (not reply) per 30 minutes, and a reported post automatically suspends posting privileges until a moderator re-enables them?

Can't we just pass a law to ban spam and be done with it altogether?

I propose emergency laws be bought in. Total lock down. No one leaves no one enters. Those who made it this far are in for the long haul and those left behind ...well are the lucky ones?

That is not a good idea. I think all new members should be on probation. During that period, all of their posts would be approved by a human moderator. Once the first spam message occurs, ban the account, and so on.
