    So how about Rys giving you mods increased privileges to ban and delete topics? It would seem prudent, with this incident in mind. There's literally been so many spam threads posted that they flushed almost all other conversations off the "new posts" list (and that thing archives ten pages back into the past.) That's really beyond obnoxious. :p

    Did the spam protection system you guys use break down completely, or what happened?

    Btw, the ferocious spamming is still going strong, there's new threads posted constantly. I've never seen anything like it. I'd shut down the forum completely if I were you guys until the issue can be resolved, because...holy fucking hell!

    We used to have a special "Ban & Deletes all posts" button in the old forums, it would be most welcome today.

    It exist, but someone configured the General and RSPC Forums as no or limited moderation so only Admin like Rys or Alex can unfuck those sections.

    Oh my..... that's crazy amount of spam. How is it no mods have access to General?

    Messages mostly in Korean could very well get flagged as spam automatically in an english-language forum, couldn't they?

    I can hunt you down in any other forum and anti-Spam you there!* These new spammers are evilly resident only on the other boards where they have Diplomatic Immunity and we can't touch them. We need Mel Gibson and Danny Glover to revoke it with extreme prejudice.

    * No I can't! Spam button is missing everywhere! OMG it's the apocalypse!

    Truer words have never been spoken! :lol:

    It seems things have settled down now, so if someone did something to fix things - my most sincere, heartfelt thanks!

    Someone banned the users. Either a supermod operating in stealth mode, or B3D forums have developed sentience and moderated themselves (which bodes very badly for us posters!)

    Good news - the Spam Destruction button is back, so I can remove it (making Alberquerque's post above the gibberings of a mad-man :p).

    There's still a lot of the spam... Temporarily increase the mod counts?
