Exoanthrope: All five forums still have spam trickling in, [...]
Yeah, I noticed after I posted that. (Why did I have to reopen those tabs to check "one more time" before bed? [shakes head wearily])

I also noticed they seem to be going after the Might and Magic forum much less aggressively than the others. Due to perceived lesser popularity, one would imagine.

Are you saying that that's ineffective? =D

Thanks for the heads up. I've gone on a reporting spree.

Maxvorstadt: I marked 3 complete pages in TW 2 forum as spam and my trigger finger hurts. I hope that the spammers won`t come back today.

toxicTom: +1 for you.

Bookwyrm627: Well, I gave a free +1 to every post on (my) page 62 of this thread. A mis-click showed me that the script will downvote every post on the active page.

toxicTom: Really? That was entirely unintended. Got to give it some thought as soon as I have time. Off to bed now.
Adding .eq(0) to the selector will target only the first post on the page:

Modified bookmarklet

Thanks for the script, by the way! Rep for everyone.

I'm at work right now with a ton of things to do since I've been sick for the last couple of weeks - so no help from me today.

bam_war spam still active there...

I tried reporting the Baldur's Gate forum spam, but there's just too much and I can't keep up with the rate of new ones that pop up every few minutes or so.

2/3 new topics per minute per forum, in fact...

EDIT: They are slowing down, It's under 1 post per minute per post right now.

it should be possible to delete those posts quite easily.. most of URLs include "bam" & "war" strings, rest we can do manually...

Working on the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights subforums here -- gone through around 13 pages so far
Posted February 02, 2015
Flagged about 16 pages in various subforums in my lunch break - quite relaxing *g*, have to get back to work now.

As I didn't see it in the community wishlist, I've added a wish for one of the most needed features in this site:

Thanks for your vote ;)

Helped to bing the Fallout forum back to 0 and the Might & Magic forum back to page 1. Unfortunately the bots are currently targeting that forum again.

Some possible solutions:
- max the number of newly created accounts by 1 or 2 per IP.
- max the number of posts per x amount of time

Lunch break is over, so I can't help any further.
