To the Forum moderator.
How do people manage to join the Forum and place 11 pages of posts about essays? This totally swamps the Forum and is a piggin' nuisance. Do they join up and laboriously place each individual post? I don't think so! So the Forum's security must need upgrading.
There has been a lot of carp posts like this, but they have usually been about buying fake passports, exam certificates, and other qualifications. Most importantly, there have not been too many of them at once!
There must be something that can be done to stop this, maybe some "I'm not a robot" type questions, or maybe several weeks of commenting on other's posts before being allowed to start a thread. Pretty much anything has to be better than what you've got.

Lol and the spammers don't even post anything of relevance.
Is there going to be any more moderators recruited or people to help clear all this nonsense?
Guess the forum software needs an upgrade depends on if its worth the cost probably?0 -

Just a spam bot that will continually add crap until blocked. There isn't actually a person generating those threads.0

I have tried "mark all posts as read" but that doesn't get rid of them either.
There is too much crap to sort through now. I'll check back in from time to time to see if it has been fixed.0 -
Yey! sorted!

The software this forum uses is hopelessly out of date. There are much better solutions out there that can prevent this sort of thing.0
