So...
NotATether, ETFbitcoin, o_e_l_e_o, LoyceV are all against my concept of a captcha.
Let's compromise and do it my way :-)
Seriously, it would be a patch at best to slow it down but other then reporting we have no other option.
IMO it's just a really difficult balance, you want a free and open forum. But you want to control the spammers as much as possible.
Or do you go the other way but no more temp bans for things like that. Using a word spinner you get the boot and that's it. Too harsh? Not sure.

I'm sorry, I'm not aiming to offend, but how are captchas in each post going to help? In the case of LoyceV's report, the reported user has posted four replies in a course of approximately 40 minutes. These posts are certainly made by an AI service such as ChatGPT, as LoyceV already mentioned. I don't see how a captcha would solve that; I don't see the need, since these kinds of services are able to generate a vast amount of posts.
Anyway, to return to the starting subject, I believe that the user in question is likely to be an alt account; I can't find any other reason a newbie would make such a large amount of posts in such a short notice.
