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.

Didn't know there was one but contact theymos or BadBear as they're likely the only ones that can increase it.
