It's every morning lately. Maybe just report it so the mods get pinged or something. Tho honestly all they prob have to do click a bunch of boxes soo seems easy enough.

Got to be a tough job in Dubai. Don't they cut off heads for flashing a bit of ankle?

Just look at how many views they received and it's obvious that maybe the spammers are finding customers here on bikeforums.

I haven't noticed they receive too many views, but I'm generally just spam banning them and not doing too much analysis.

How many flags do they get. I can imagine the mods waking up to seeing 1000 flagged posts. Hopefully they can delete the posts or user and all the flags would be deleted too.

It was maybe 100-300 per day. 100 fills up the first two pages of General, so that's a lot. 1154 total. The oldest one was 10 days ago.
If each bot gets 5, then that's 230+ bots. I know I got to some of them before they posted 5

I don't remember if people that have been around remember when we had spammer swarms. Fortunately they had their way with the forum and quit. A mod can only delete a limited number posts at a time, and some of them were posting more than that in the time it took to ban the previous spammer. Anyone wants to know why we limit what newbies can post, that's why. I was spending a couple of hours every morning before work banning spammers along with 2 other mods. The limitations imposed since then get rid of most of them, because they really have to want to post their spam links. Whoever is behind the most recent swarm is unique in that they only want to post a phone number. But I'm sure it's not as lucrative as posting a link. Which is still probably a fairly small payout per link.
