Is anything going to be done about the spam bots in OT?

[Merlin]

I'm working on it.

The spam purging tool doesn't work once someone has posted enough to appear as a legitimate user.

So I either have to manually delete hundreds of posts and multiple accounts or wait for the admin to change the post limit so I can use the anti-spam tool to do it automatically. I've sent him a note but it sometimes takes a while before he responds so I will probably have to just delete them manually.

They should all be gone now. I ended up banning the spam accounts and deleting all those spam threads manually. By the time I finished, more than 450 posts had been deleted, so it took a while.

You can return to reading and responding to off-topic posts again.
