I haven't wrote such a long explanation when I have reported those threads

I just only wrote: "Should go to Speculation" that's all

I haven't checked the speculation thread it they were moved there, but the topics has vanished from the Bitcoin Discussion thread at least...

EDIT:
I have done the review of the Bitcoin Discussion thread again today, it's much better now, it took only half an hour and reported only about 50 topics, but most of them were those poor numbered wenches again...

I wanted them nuked for good, not just moved to another board as in my opinion a thread created by a bot or spammer shouldn't be allowed anywhere.
Glad to hear that the board is a bit cleaner now and kudos to the mod that nuked the ladybots.
50 topics reported a day Cool

....no wonder the number of topics in BD is not growing anymore

I know your looking for a mods explanation, but if we are specifically referring to the 1 post newbie bot invasion I've just been reporting them with "Plagiarism. Original source: Every single one of them I've come across was either using old posts here on the forum or copying from popular news websites. The earliest post I've seen copied was in 2010.

All of them were marked good so should be sufficient.

I'm doing my reporting especially when I'm on the phone and I just browse around, so I can't easily check that it's plagiarism.
What is worse, some of those threads (nuked now) had only one line, a speculation about the price, I can't accuse a post like that of plagiarism...
But, reading pugman's post too it seems members have the same opinion on this, I think I'll go next with this approach.

Oh, and... newbie jail.....where are you ?!!?!!
