Is this a person or a bot, and how do you put the brakes on them?
There's gotta be a board programming way to disallow someone from creating threads at 30 second to 60 second intervals.

This is just crazy now. I've reported one post, and am going to expect the other posts with views have also been reported.
--> It would be handy to have on user profile page a way to report the user as a spammer.

I just posted in site suggestions but thought I'd post here as well, could all new users be limited to starting only 1-2 threads until a certain post limit is reached

It's a shame to see this forum being so neglected. Spammed by bots and lacking security

I hope it will get fixed
