What do the millions of other sites do that keeps such leeches from constantly interrupting the messages with such foolish trash as this?

social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/6/index/13771038

From fake member accounts such as this?

And if I just happen to be typing fast, and reading fast, and writing short messages, I get stopped from writing too many in too short a time.  But this commercial sleezebag can post ten messages in thirteen minutes?  Can't Bioware hire a professional consultant to tell them what everyione else is doing that Bioware's people can't figure out how to do?

Stan, I suppose I would try that more often, if these attacks weren't most commonly over weekends, when moderators mostly take the weekends off and aren't available, HOWEVER, even when it's the middle of the week, and it's now REACHED the attention of a moderator, of this particular Spammer's posts, several remain in place, still cluttering up the site ten hours later, like THIS one (of two) in the Points Forum:

It just doesn't seem to me that Bioware gives much of a (expletive replaced there) about cleaning the place up, with or without people making reports.

Well, if we don't get reports from people who see these spam posts, we can't very well remove them, can we? I take care to remove whatever spam is reported to me. Bigger jobs, like pages upon pages of spam, or spam in forums and threads in which I don't have Mod powers, I can't do anything about.

Today, it's the forum for the online store again (and a PM to Stanley went in also at 10:30 AM or so).

It's not doing any good at all.

There must be 15 pages' worth in just the NWN2 forums. 

That means three to five hundred.

P. S.  Within the past 2-4 minutes, there's some beginning to quarantining these snakes!  A half page of the very newest sports video Spams are gone.

The spam accounts you've mentioned have already been banned. As I mentioned in my earlier post:

Bigger jobs, like pages upon pages of spam, or spam in forums and threads in which I don't have Mod powers, I can't do anything about.

So please be patient as we work to deal with these spammers. We have limited manpower and cannot be in every forum 24 hours a day. Reporting these threads to a Moderator (or multiple Moderators) means they are the first reports we read when we log into the BSN. Some of our veteran community members have been very good about pointing out spam threads whenever they encounter them. All it takes is a link to the spam thread itself or to the spammer's user profile and we can take it from there.

I, for one, have dealt with about a dozen spammers in the last two days and removed several pages' worth of spam posts in multiple forums. This is, of course, in addition to my regular Mod duties, so while you may think it's not doing any good by pointing out a couple of forums where the spam is prevalent, the BSN has dozens of forums that potentially require supervision and/or cleanup that are now clean (or, at least, clean[i]er[/]i) thanks to our team of Moderators.

If you have further questions or concerns, please let us know.
