Im confused. I thought the problem was that a bunch of newbies have been sending unsolicited PMs to users who are not interested, nor have given any indication they are interested in any ICOs.

Yes. There are parties offering two spam services. One to send unsolicited PM spam and another to make essentially bump spam feigning interest etc:

Thought I could keep a thread dedicated for reporting accounts which could be banned for shit-posting.I often come across such accounts and usually ignore them or keep procrastinating the 'report to mod' click.By keeping it in one thread it would be easier for me to keep a track and also make it easier for the mods to ban them.I believe these accounts are created to pump ICO threads and or spam threads in any way possible.Most of them are one line posters pumping threads ,definitely don't need them on the forum.

There seems to be a lot nowadays that the admins are not looking into that they probably should. There is a fairly decent amount of admin related work that cannot be automated.

We probably need at least one more active admin to be honest. Essential things just aren't getting looked into. It's pointless even banning people at this point when they can and do just evade their ban on their 2/20/200 alt accounts and nobody ever looks into them. It's also unacceptable that people are waiting several months and even indefinitely in some cases to have their accounts restored even with a signed message already verified by others.

I believe theymos recently said that he is the only one handling the coding behind the forum so he might have been busy with that recently.

Where did he say this?

Basically, those are newbie account. Maybe restrict newbie from private message?

They've already been limited to one per hour I believe. It probably doesn't even matter though when you can easily just automatically create hundreds of accounts and have a bot do all the work for you.
