I'd much rather see the UN courts break the spammers' wills so they can't write anything ever again.

I obviously spent quite a bit of time on Saturday reporting the spammers.

I'm no expert, but from watching accounts closely (before they spammed ), I'm not sure they were all bots ... but I agree some were.

I noticed some accounts that were used for spamming first went to their Control Panel - not sure why a bot would bother doing that.

Other accounts were used to search the forums, and some were used to look at a thread (not a spam one) ... but then spam was posted elsewhere.
(Perhaps these may be bot task related, especially as the spammers were then progressing to posting within existing threads, rather than starting new threads, but I'm not sure)
