Makes me realize we could seriously use a bot to crush spammers. Either that or a simple ban on new accounts from posting urls

Ugh, don't do that.  Sure, you'd get to them quicker, but you'd also run the chance at pissing off new users if the bot "thought" they were a spammer.  Very bad.  I prefer the method of it taking a little longer for you guys to catch them, but leaving legitimate members be.  Though, I'm sure they suck on your end of things.

It's more for the folks spamming the comment sections of the "articles" (usually just guides to iOS games). A spambot on the forums is a chance for some creativity on our parts, as we replace the spam with whatever comes to mind (if they post in threads).

The guys spamming the comments, though, they breed like flies or something, and it's no fun to wade through 100 reports, which is them somehow reporting each other. Fortunately some of the other mods have more patience for it than i do.
