The mods have been combating this already. Just takes time. It's faster if you report this on IRC though.
Ok, thnx AZD i will.
Captcha at register page is needed...
I know it's an effort that may take time, but if mods want to stop guetting flagged comments on their inboxes or whatever, comments and forums may be closed forever...

I use that on another place and i can say it helps a lot but if the spammer is human (mostlikely the case here) he will spam regardless. But your right it does help. I just wanted to help and we ended up making a thread that's almost the same has spam :Panimefan01 said:

First of all for some reasons those two posts get "recorded" by spam industry so new accounts keep coming and posting spam there (and sometimes on forum).. Nothing mods can do besides deleting after posting now, unless we improve the register process, like to add Captcha as mentioned.
And about "flagged comments", that feature just doesn't work good. Everyone can flag any comments without any reason, and from what I see, most of them are just mis-clicking (it's too easy to do so). So I never delete comments based on that. However I (and lots of other mods) will read all the comments daily. So spamming comments will get deleted eventually.

Anyone know what this kind of spamming is supposed to accomplish? I mean surely nobody is going to read that kind of walls of text except maybe for the comedic value
Search engine 'track'. Advertising in a sense by making it more likely their stuff to pop up during search.Azarel said:

we can probably ban the comment under those old posts which frequently being advertised by spam bots, hence no one can comment under those posts. I think most people are O.K. with that. This could be a temp solution.
Can't lock comment for a certain post ATM.Twinsenzw said:

It just went overboard now... We need a captcha now because these accounts are flourishing faster than ever...
Yeah, it's getting out of control. Had to ban three accounts already today.
Spending too much time cleaning up afterwards.

Where is all this spam coming from anyways? I've been seeing lots of it.
Spambot, so... whatever spambot advertising companies come from.
They seem to be in the wiki more than the comments these days.
I've marked some entries for cleanup.
