Add more simple spam filters
What about rejecting all new threads, which contain Korean characters and the typical term “seven seven dot” which appear in the title? I’m aware that this request is naive and spammers will find another gap. But at least the current flood would be stopped.
The editors need 4 mouse clicks to report a message as spam and delete it. Then it takes about 15 seconds until this procedure is ready in my browser. Afterwards a new view on the main page of the forum appears, such that I have to click a 5th time to close it also.
It would be more efficient if the opinion of 2 editors is enough to exclude a specific user from posting temporarily until an admin decides how this person is treated.
Unfortunately the forum is not usable at the moment.

In my opinion, captchas should only be required for initial account registration. If I can possibly avoid it with better spam filters, then I don’t want to have captchas imposed on me. I post so much that it would be burdensome/punishing on me. Why should I have to be punished because of the spammers? Only force captchas on me if there is no way to have reliable spam filters. I know there are many spam authors now, much more than before, so I don’t know if they have some automated account creation bot. It’s been so long I don’t recall if there is a captcha for account creation or not. If not there should be. I don’t mind doing it once but I don’t want to deal with captchas 300 times per month.
I agree that having editors disable/suspend accounts for review by Randy, John, or Kevin is a good solution. And if they have captchas there would be a small, reasonable number that we editors could handle. It also might be good if we could also add our own spam filter, at least until Randy reviews it, where we can have it automatically filter out all message with a certain term (web site) in it.
I think in the spam attack, a day ago, they lowered the spam threshold so much it pulled a few hundred legitimate messages (mostly old ones) into the spam quarantine. Those messages eventually disappeared so I don’t know if they got deleted or put back.
