There are tons of these topics in the General forum. I assume it's a spammer, but there's no link. At any rate, the content seems to be in a foreign language which uses a non-Roman alphabet so my screen reader just reads it as silence.

I've banned the offending user and deleted most of the topics.  This one stays for historical purposes, and because we've obviously posted in it, and because I wanted you all to know that we're safe from that one particular spammer, and because I couldn't be bothered hitting the delete button on it, and because because!

I?  Lazy?  Now what in the name of cheese would compel you to say such things about me!  What kind of world is this, where a moderator responsibly protects a forum and its forumites from spam and spambots and spammers and spamburgers and is then submited to the label of laziness!  Seriously!  I'm an energy conservation specialist, is all!  I believe in the goodness of the idea that you should put off today what you can do tomorrow, provided that no one else notices and no one else cares, and no one else does it first, and treating chronic procrastonitis is on the agenda, and and and...  Forget it, I'm too lazy to come up with anything for my defense.

Dude, what the hel is wrong with you, I did put an xD behind that, if you didnt notice.

Hi.
Erotical trips, gosh, spam bots get crazier by the day.
Greetings Moritz.

@simba,
I didn't take it literally and was kidding right back... I imagined since you started the joke you would actually be able to grasp that, but I probably shouldn't have made such an assumption.  I'm sorry you ttook me so seriously.

hey moderators.
we must ban this user.
i'm korean.
so i  can say what this post mean.
hmm, it looks like a advertisement about sexual things.
so this topic must be killed.
so, this user needs to be banned.

Well you know as a fellow moderator of the forum, not this but the one on audiogamehub I can say that there have been times where I have felt I am wasting my breath.
While there was interest in the forum initially it seems its only service is as a spam magnet.
The spammers usually target the general forum and sometimes announcements.
Initially I put in announcements on the forum saying don't crack, keep subject lines, keep to the rules, etc, etc but all  it seemed to do was generate spam.
I know there are a few users on the system, and I know some of them did post once, and I know the forum is viewed and read but not many if any have ever posted in it for months.
Every day I have the displeasure of logging in my moderater account, and going through every forum, bar general  and after that going through general and noting down all the users that are being naughty.
Then I have to go through and delete all their topics and then I have to go through and bann all the users.
At first I just put notes for the users saying why I banned them.
Then I stopped, because I couldn't be bothered then I thought about swearing at them on a message then I just decided to go through the motions of banning spammers.
I do it once a day.
When I realised I was generating traffic I cleared all my announcements and all traffic for spam instantly halved.
I have contacted sonnar about this, its clear we are not generating traffic or even offtopic descussion right now.
My thought is that we should shelve the forum either till people ask for it or we get more security for it or simply say screw this and delete it.
Pr is fine but if no one posts or comments bar spammers then I may as well go home!
I am seriously think at this stage till we get big enough it may be easier to go to a managed forum like this one where we can appear and then disappear in a moment then appear again when we have something.
Its what we have done, true there is an email list which I made which I also forgot which itself is not generating traffic.
Even with the hub right now traffic is stupidly low.
That aint a bad thing I am just concerned we are making all these channels and we are moving far to fast for our own good.
I guess there is a ballence, I will continue to maintain things if anything for my own sanity but its just a daily step.
I also suspect bar one or 2 actual admins that they don't either have the time or are to lazy to actually do anything much.
I got a responce after a few days when I did the forum permition initially but every extra mail I send at admin yealds not much in the way of responce.
When I first got in, every forum including the main page was full of topics with random names and the like.
I spent 2 hours clearing it up.
Every day I get at least one new bot.
And I suspect in some cases the same people come back.
One bot I banned his address, he came back with a slightly different name.
Ofcause right now its easy, I know what topics are listed, there are only 6 in the entire forum and to be honest I am half tempted to clear all those and let the spammers take over at times.
I'd probably loose my job but sometimes the spammers get me down.
The only spam I like is the stuff in the can and then I don't eat it to much because if I eat to much of that that will definetly kill me.
But yes, canned spam and egg is fine.
And no philll please don't come in here and start the spam song again, thougyh I do have the disk with it on and yes I do play it when no one is in the house loud so there!
I get on average 1-5 spammers per day generating 1-5 topics each.
When I started I had 30-40 spammers with at least 20 topics each all over the forums.
Some days I have none.
I think and hope I only have 1 or 2, I need to be going out later today but hmmm.
I do wander what the chocolate fudge I am doing, half of me wants to say, if they don't generate traffic then I will just bann myself and go away but I somehow just keep plodding along beating this mechanical gaming keyboard as I go.
I guess I like my job to much to shelve it.

erotic trips? Where  can I get more info?

And that's what I'm actually wondering about. Why don't admins delete it or at least move it to the off topic room?

Maybe this game is going to be coded with e# .
