I'm seeing this all the time, I also reported this user https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/fullhouse-322370 to coinomat.com but he doesn't seem to care, he didn't even reply my PM , and this guy keeps spamming..
It's weird that the forum doesn't ban these users nor the signature campaign removing them from the campaign..

Coinomat said there will be updates this week. Give them time.

They must be verifying people's posts because they are late with the payments

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of the shittiness. But whatever your plan was to stop the spam, it seems to have worked. The front page seems clean from spam now.

Nuke only works on newbies, and even then it times out eventually, around 70 posts, though you can just hit nuke again.

Even if I go through and rapidly delete all the replies on a page (middle click delete button will open it in a new tab and delete the post, so the page you're on doesn't need to refresh), it will still take like...20 seconds to complete while SMF wanders off, sits under a tree, and contemplates life. And I can't do anything else in the meantime.

When we say SMF sucks, we mean it. Too many things can't be done through the web interface or are too inefficient.

All handled, not going to delete the posts though, too tedious and time consuming.

It's a bit harder when it comes to foreign languages.

You could always nuke the account. I know it's been done this in the past for similar reasons. We wouldn't want those guys to be paid for cluttering foreign boards would we?

It's not that hard to notice spam..

I noticed those too, I was in the Chinese section doing research for Unobtanium. I just assumed the moderator of that board was no longer active. As BadBear said, foreign language boards are more difficult. It's nice to have Mitchell in the Dutch section, for example.

Certain accounts are currently dominating the front page of the forum with their replies. Posts are coming from the Chinese board.

Here are a few examples:

Wow. Quite weird to see sr. Members making such posts. Google translate shows that the posts were spamy(and were likely automated). For a quick action you can PM the moderator of the Chinese section with a few details.
