God, since yesterday the forum is having a good amoutn of spam bots, this is annoying.
Can anything be done, except manually ban them, like trace origin IP?

See here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1278627.0

And here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1278196.0

And no, banning IPs doesn't do anything because they just move on to another. Just ignore or report them as they get nuked within seconds/minutes.
Wanted to make a new thread for this question but is there a way to reduce my report limit? I think I heard something about mods being able to give some "special ability" to do so.
