Usually the moderators pick up on this, but it seems like the same 2 "new members" have been non-stop.

What going on here Im sure if I did something to break the rules Id be stopped by now

It's hard to monitor the site 24/7, I imagine, but it would be a good idea to have hard-coded limit on how many posts a new member can make within a given time period.

There are plugins and other things to circumvent this stuff. This type of stuff should be caught automatically and not need manual intervention

I understand but, I have seen some people start arguments and start slinging words, the admins come in faster than you can change a battery and stop it.... I just dont understand it, now its another 2 new members joining in.

Usually it is. However the spammers have been hard at work developing spam that circumvents the built in tools.

There were over 25 spam bots slinging their crap all over the forums. I've put a stop to it and done the clean up.

While spammers have always been a scourge for forums, it pales in comparison when members start complaining the staff doesn't have the right to sleep or otherwise have a life.

And now that the mess is cleaned up, closing.
