WTF is this?! (football spam threads)
 
Why are all the m0rons spamming this area with crap about college football?

Is it all the same idiot with the same ip? Any chance of just banning them completely?

Getting a bit ridiculous aint it?

Yeah, I am wondering why the hell should TMO be full with Football? We are users and devs here.. Not Football fans..

Looks like we need more moderators. How many are there, btw?

I've reported their posts at leasts 5 times but all the so-called mods of the forum look to be sleeping :D

Just a handful I think.

I think we need some more mods that can cover all timezones! Like a few EU mods to help while the US sleeps.

So you find best way of stopping spam, open other flood thread? You can report and wait. But new threads for every small pip is not helpful and not differ from spam threads. So please stop opening thread after thread for g*d sake!

The OP started a single thread about the spam issue (this thread) since joining TMO, check his threads started by report. The spammers were starting between one and eight threads each. Comparing the OP to them is probably overstating the case. I agree with your comments about report and wait. That was my approach as well.

Well i don't know whether your'll realized or not but the spammers were posting threads for more than 1.5hours with no action taken against them...Co-incidence maybe but less than 20mins after GOW started this thread all disappeared while I had reported the spammers from the first time they started their threads more than 3hours before GOW started his...

3hours from the first thread posted while 1.5hrs was the length some of the threads were left around :)
