Guessing it goes for ama section just because it's 1st alphabetically? Maybe should create an section called aaa and hope all spam would go there lol If it did, would be easy to ignore / delete too

All are very good ideas, but only the admin can make the changes. Also advanced spambot scripts can cheat the captcha or pictures. There are even paid programs (~€250) for those who want very advanced spambots without doing all the programming.
I don't think it targets the sections in alphabetical order. Spambots usually target dozens or hundreds of forums at the same time. These forums can easily be detected by search for "Powered by vBulletin" using any search engine. The same applies for forums powered by other platforms. Closing the AMA section will result in a different section to be spammed in. Maybe even the more crowded sections: Dares, Truth, ReTorDO? The same happened when I closed certain blog entries in which the spambot posted spam comments. Closing them resulted in posting threads in the AMA section. When I allowed access to the same blog entries again, the spambot went back to these blog entries. One á two weeks went by and the spambot targets the AMA section now.

That almost sounds like there's nothing realistically that can be done to stop it?
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 guess having a site admin that's MIA is our biggest problem first and foremost...kinda hard to take preventative measures.
For the time being, what if we just let the AMA forum be Spambot Island and making a new AMA section for us to actually use?

Oh, I've been busy. Bored - but busy! Busy writing the script for my (probably not) forthcoming three-minute arty-farty selfie wank porn movie (working title: "Notice Transition P" [or perhaps: "As Analysers, Altho" or "Classification Hole" or "Jarvik Cytogenic Va"]). The first script draft is almost there - I just need to tighten the second act a bit.

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.

Also, @riskyflame - I wonder if creating the section as a sub forum for the truth section, and giving it a name that isn't "AMA" will be enough to bypass the spambot algorithm?

I'm trying to think of a way to publish it on my blog or elsewhere on my profile. It just needs to be reformatted and split into smaller chunks I think...

Spam length
It seems that the name of these threads is always 19 characters long for the moment. I tried to find a way to filter out the threads based on the name length (with advanced search) but couldn't do it.
But of course the spam bot could be modified later to generate a different length... |

I'm coooool! But I think this joke has run its course now. So what else fun can we do with the spam? Anyone? It would be fun to create a dare round the spambotic spewings...

And now we not only have a forum spammer, but we also have a PM spammer.
Please report the PM spammer since we have no way of knowing about those without the reports. |

I got the answer to the problems.
A 2 dollar or euro charge to a credit card per year. Ends the spamming accounts, the double accounts, the under 18 accounts.
