Didn't know there was one but contact theymos or BadBear as they're likely the only ones that can increase it.
Actually now that I remember a bit, I think it was you "decreasing" or doing something like "vouching for reports", for a newbie who was complaining about the report limit being too high.

God, since yesterday the forum is having a good amoutn of spam bots, this is annoying.
Can anything be done, except manually ban them, like trace origin IP?

See here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/why-do-some-random-new-accounts-create-threads-here-with-random-strange-words-1278627

And here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hilarious-bots-posting-nonsense-whats-the-point-1278196

And no, banning IPs doesn't do anything because they just move on to another. Just ignore or report them as they get nuked within seconds/minutes.
Wanted to make a new thread for this question but is there a way to reduce my report limit? I think I heard something about mods being able to give some "special ability" to do so.
