Are moderators aware of the spam maybe even bots or at least bot generated accounts.

Most of them have inside of name capital letters or numbers. Mostly are totally of topic, but sometimes at least use name of coin, but their post is still totally stupid. Maybe just really bad translated.   I notice them in altcoins part of forum, but i read that one.  I did report some, but posts seems to stay.  Should I continue report them?

Staff are well aware of the bot situation but they can only act upon them once reported. Once you do they'll be nuked and possibly/hopefully looked into for more. It's getting pretty ridiculous really and people are even offering services to spam bump/promote ICOs in such a fashion (and/or they're just trying to sneakily farm accounts). I wonder if making newbies fill out a captcha for every post would be helpful or just counter-productive and do more harm than good. Something really needs to be done about bots and shitposting account farmers because it's getting out of hand.
