Which is a shame, as I've basically given up on the forums now other than the threads that I subscribe too. So don't see any new threads now and barely go in AMA section at all, which was one of the most interesting sections which is almost dead now.

I am currently learning a scripting language that'll automate the process of moderating the spam posts and maybe even banning the spam accounts. But I'm fairly in the basics at the moment, so I have no idea when this is done. But when it's done, it's definitely able to stop the spam. As said in a previous post (somewhere), it's just a matter to fine tune the criteria to recognise a spam post.
Other than this, temporary or permanent solutions have to come from the administrator(s).

Creating a secondary AMA section would be a temporary solution as well, and a simple one too. I'm not sure how the algorithm of the spambot will respond to this change though.
