helpo1: Good job with this one and +1, but unfortunately, doesn't work with Firefox. :( Going through TW2 manually.
For FF please use the following:

javascript:(function(){$('.r_t_p_no_EN').show().click();$('#markSpam_1').click();})()

Works for me at least.
PS: It works even faster in FF since you can CTRL-W the tabs without having to confirm the Thank You alert. :-)

TanguyLOZ: Spammers in the TW2 forum, some were probably already listed[..]
Hem..but why are you guys listing them?
Are you in contact with GOG's team?
With all these different spam accounts posting, it looks as though they're working to make account bans less effective.

By the way, a temporary good solution for GOG would be blocking all threads\posts with non-latin characters..
(or with korean\chinese\indian ones)

At least the speed has decreased. It's only 1 spam post per 1-2 minute(s).

Thanks, this one's brilliant. ;)

I've been doing it like this: open all (or 20-30) with mouse wheel, let them load (10s is enough), click downrep-spam (fortunately, it is in the same place, so you don't have to move the cursor), CTRL+W it. The CTRL+W automatically sends you to another one. Repeat.
This bookmarklet will merge two clicks into one and save a few secs in the loading, because you won't have to wait for the page to load.

Yes, that's what I've been doing too. Problem with Chrome is, that it prevents CTRL-W when the alert is open. And I always wait for the alert to make sure the AJAX requests have gone through. With FF it's even more convenient, since you can close the tab with active alert.
And they're spamming the main forum again.

Seriously, blue power please.

I think spam threads get flagged fast in General. More people to spot them.
I don't see the point of this recent spamming. They can't post links, and even if they thought they could, the spaces in the URLs ensure that they'd get no backlink juice, meaning there's no SEO benefit (pro or con, as people sometimes pay spammers to spam competitor links in order to get them penalized by search engines for spamming). Even if they're playing the numbers game and banking on one in a thousand people being curious enough to visit the spammed sites, posting in subforums is a great way to expose a ton of spam links to virtually no one. I just don't get it. The whole endeavor seems like a waste of time for everyone involved.

helpo1: Interesting. They keep posting from the same account till I mention them here. Four threads made by 1474, but after I posted this account here, they went to 1478.
Thanks for that. I could have sworn they switched as soon as I listed them, but I brushed it off as coincidence at the time. I guess the spammer/s are watching this thread, then? Or maybe using some kind of script that watches it and changes the spam account when the current spamming account is mentioned?

rtcvb32: Even something as simple as having a 5+ rep in order to post new topics, or a limit of 1 topic a minute and 5 topics an hour. (I can't think of any person who could/would need more than that, i've never made more than 3 in an hour that i can recall).
Even something like only allowing 5 threads a day in a single forum section would probably be reasonable. I don't think I've ever seen anyone post that many threads in one day because it's typically considered bad forum etiquette. Then again, they're making new accounts whenever they're mentioned, so they'd probably be able to get around even that at the end of the day.
Even though I hate the thought of it, they might have to update the forums with captcha to further prevent the spamming.

At least for account registration.

No, those are the ones I marked as spam before I saw toxicTom's helpful script.
Thanks again toxicTom and let's go back to the fight !
