One can't help but wonder why, if bots can be created to post spam, that bots can't be created to, you know, stop it or at the very least clean it up.
Gog, if it's simply a matter of short staffing and time, I'm literally at your service. I'm disabled, mostly bed bound, and have all the time in the world. I would be happy to volunteer (as in ZERO compensation) to delete reported spam threads that are not it any way in dispute as to being spam (if there's ANY question whatsoever, I'm wouldn't touch it and let someone else decide if it's indeed spam), so long as I do not have any other responsibilities. I have no desire to help "police" regular members forum usage, as that is/should be the role of a moderator. I want no part of that whatsoever. But if it were possible to have a volunteer non-mod spam cleaner upper, I'd be happy to help. However, in terms of IT knowledge I'm... challenged. Well, okay, a tech imbecile. But maybe something like deleting spam posts and bot accounts is something that is easy enough for a moron like to follow, and if so... I'd be happy to help.
Not really expecting a reply, but just thought I'd throw it out there as something to think about even if it isn't me and you're able to find a volunteer less IT challenged.
