I don't know how you're gonna do it (a couple IP bans?) but you're probably gonna have to stop the spam.

It's really gonna ruin the user experience, by a lot. Good luck? :\ This is really annoying.

The mods don't need your hassling to know they need to take care of the spam bots. It's very annoying and very hard to do as it is without us adding to it.

Just keep reporting spam.  We are whacking them as fast as we can.

Yeah, the mods do the best they can.  They definitely don't deserve criticism for their unpaid efforts.

Not much you can do to truly eliminate internet spam these days.  Face it, there's just a lot of people out there who truly suck.

I think you just need to be patient, CC, and try not to let it bother you.  Usually, the spam threads are easy to spot, and you can always just NOT click on them.  I understand you frustration though.

You literally spend the most time on this site, so it should be your job from now on. Stop complaining, some of your threads are just offensive and unnecessary.

Don't let spam make you attach other posters.

I wouldn't mind putting extra effort into the site xD But sorry, I guess.

Geddit? (It's just a Celtics poster - but the point isn't to download it)

I see where I screwed up. Sorry if I offended any mods  :( I know you dedicate lots and lots of time to making this community such a great place for us all. I really appreciate it and didnt mean to insult you in any way.

These spammers are out of your control and we need to do all that we can to help stop this invasion. Great work mods and lets protect CB!
