The spam ruining BHW user experience

I have noticed this kind of spam in the Homepage for the last few days. This is hardcore spamming and should be stopped.

I am sure mods are doing best to stop this but maybe IP range ban can be used if they are using different accounts. Or maybe some other solution.

The only solution is to manual approve or creating a hunger game section where new people can only post there. I am not doing those thing but its easy to break the all forum with simple bot and proxies

It's been like this every night for years and there is a thread complaining about it almost as often. Everyone is aware.

Everyone is aware. We do keep these threads to a minimum - I’m sure the majority and blocked by automated systems and the remainder are normally deleted shortly after they are posted.

The best thing you can do as a member is report the posts when you see them.

When you consider how much traffic and exposure bhw I think the small number of spam that’s gets through is not so bad.

Thread closed.

For clarification hitting the report button resolves issues far faster than creating a graphic like this. Also it helps when we come to look for engaged members in the forum for future influencer projects and mod positions.

We appreciate this feedback but hitting report means we can clean it in seconds which puts people off posting in the first place if it never gets seen.
