I really think we should just make Politics and Society and Off topic like Serious Discussion and then these sorts of threads would stop because 99% of the threads in those two boards are only made for the activity/post count. In fact, I doubt we even really need Politics now we have got Serious Discussion.

If the current spam boards are gone, the spammers will spread out over the rest of the forum.

I would agree with him if we remove these threads it would become impossible to control the amount of spam, not only that i see people posting questions about bitcoin in the meta section i don't have the link because it obviously got removed

I think it's less work to report the good threads there instead of the bad ones. Or, once the board gets an active moderator, it may need a total "reset": lock all threads, and start over from scratch. That gives the new Mod some breathing space, and if he keeps a short leash on new topics, the spammers may quickly realize all their posts get deleted.

This should be applied to all sections which have active moderators i do see that nowadays on reporting something to the mods the response rate has increased i feel it would be more easier to start moderating threads from scratch as the current system surely isn't working
