Ive noticed too, but theres nothing they can really do but delete the topics and ban the spambots.

Yep, we delete them as we see them... making a thread likethis isn't going to help any. Also, the mods have developed a pretty good eye for these things, and can usually spot a spambot thread before we actually look inside (at least, I can... it's not that hard) Whenever there is a thread there, it's just a matter of whether or not someone is around to delete it.

We do the best we can, but the spambots do bring out the one flaw of the minimod precinct system: only the admins have moderator power in all of the forums. (We can't do squat in forums we don't have mod privelages in.)

Just ignore the spambot threads. There isn't a whole lot we can do about them without FTP access to the forums, which unfortunately only Ben has.

We'll remove them as we spot them.
