    That massive Chinese spam, my god. Please require a captcha before allowing users/bots to create a thread. Thank you.

    Well, they could hire human farms to make accounts. Once the account is made they could bot spam the forum.

    That could actually be useful, because this spam is taking up 4.5-5 pages of General Discussion holy sh*t

    I remember when the Ubisoft forums would constantly get these Chinese/Korean massive spamming. Especially with the The Crew forums.

    Darren's right. Allied Gaming runs this type of thing and they don't get spammers. This is proven to work!

    Hm. That's not a bad idea at all! And if the user is confirmed a bot then remove all of their posts.

    One problem though. Spam bots could change the wording in every spam thread to avoid the detection.

    OK I admit it. I'm a bot. I've been meaning to post spam, but I'm just really lazy and don't feel like it. Maybe tomorrow.

    There is captcha. There is an anti-spam system aswell. But if there is a real person behind the registration process, most of these just fail.
    Making a thread about these is not really required :\
