On the next bitcointalk update, it Would be nice if the Dev team can implement an auto-filter bot mechanism that will automatically detect and delete bot posts from the forum.

I see lots on this bot actions being carried out on different threads, but the post gets deleted within some few minutes.

On Epochtalk there already is a similar option available that does certain actions when detecting blacklisted keywords: reject post, change word with something else, temp/perma ban user etc...

Certain links are autonuked by one of the bots being operated here. There are new links popping out every now and then so I imagine that it's difficult for them to nuke all.

Recently, they're obfuscated to use hyperlink or copy certain posts and insert their link in between. I've reported quite a few of them but it takes time for them to be removed.

I'm not really sure but I think you can make this as a suggestion to the new forum software that is being developed. I am not sure if this has been suggested before or if they'll consider this but it is worth a shot.

After a google search for one of those domain names (colomboserboli dot com noticed keeps repeating) and the first result looks like this:

Might actually not be backlinks after all...

If you scroll down Active users and top posters in the past 24 hours you'll see long lists of Brand new accounts with ... 10, 9, 8 ... posts. This spam wave has recently increased a lot. Most of the posts get deleted quickly, but the ones that slip through mean the spammer reached his goal.

Your keys, your responsibility

This person also littered ~~the meta section~~ a lot of sections, apparently he wanted to trick others clicking hidden links in his posts.

I hope the admin nuke and ban them:

It's the common SEO spam that you're seeing in the various sections. Some of them use these techniques such that the links aren't visible to the naked eye to evade detection. Wouldn't recommend clicking on them. Just report them and it should be gone soon.
