I keep trying to report these posts, but it looks like a futile battle.  Considering there's a captcha when you register and when you log in, it seems difficult for there to be a bot doing all of these, even though they're very bot-like posts.

They're all newbie accounts and they only seem to post 1 spam post, so I don't see how they could be getting past the forum's system.  IIRC the forum makes you pay a fee to create new accounts if you create several from the same IP address, so they would have to be using a VPN with many different locations or possibly hacking a lot of old unused newbie accounts.

If a human is doing it, I doubt there's any useful way to stop them at all except for banning the accounts one by one, which would be pretty ineffective.

Yes right, all the spam posts are so annoying. I have been seeing many of these posts everywhere. And these bots are bumping the old threads.
