Spammer spammed spam topic :)
We need active admins to dont just delete spam posts but also delete spam users. And i think user registration module also should be updated. Seems like spam bots can easely handle current one.
GranPC, u should have enough rights (as Global moderator) to set some admins. I dont mind to be a moderator too, to keep forum nice and clean.

I'm deleting spambot accounts and I changed the captcha questions and stuff.. I'm hoping that'll solve most of the issues :)

Gran PC, what Pyro says makes sense, sometimes ppl with too much time on their hands (not bots, things like this or this or this) 'spam' the forum with different user accounts, if you don't have the time or interest to moderate the forum, could you make someone who is active moderator? Pyro would be a great candidate, and I would volunteer to help out aswell

spam will never end till we have >100 spam accounts -.-
look on staticstics: new meber on this forum appears 2-3 times per months. Then suddenly 130 accounts appeared in just few days.
Things obvious here.
Also obvious that spam topics will appear all the time while all accounts will be deleted. If do that one by one when problem is occured - this will take a while.
And spam topics may "live" for long time, becouse you are only one active admin, with no time for PX. So noone to clear them up.

This means that potentially new people to px may be repelled by spammed forum state. This thing is more important, imo, rather then afraid of deleting one accident human account with 0 activity. Besides.. when its only a though.
But "runaway" of potentially new members has much more probability than that.
Spam also repel returning visitors, thats also for sure.

Im up if you do that from my name - i`ll take those things if you delete someone`s account accidently, on my shoulders. But damn, its definitely NO humans over there in list i provided! D:
