What about a spam filter that if any of web addresses A, B, C are posted, the post won't go through? Not sure if this is feasible, just thinking outside the box. Otherwise, I'm more than willing to run around with my spam gun.
I'm ok doing that as well, but it would be so much easier if they couldn't even make accounts.

I just noticed you can actually ignore users by clicking on the ban icon (in the app) and adding them to ignore list. Though not a real solution, it helps a bit.

I believe we already use captcha.

Oh. Awkward... It has been a while since I signed up for an account though...

There goes my idea.

Then how do the bots get through?

Pilot of the bots makes the accounts, then bots post.

Maybe the new user's first post has to go through a mod before anyone else can see it?

Like it would only be visible to moderators+

Maybe something about no links in the first few posts?

Perhaps all new users must be approved by a mod or must post in a certain forum first before other forums to prove they are human. Much easier said than done tho

They could be asked about their favorite color in magic maybe?
