Isn't it time to ban the spambot flooding "Eggdrop Help"?
It seems to be completely out of control, adding a new post every few seconds..

I did notice some brave moderator trying to keep up deleting those posts, but without banning that user/system, it's a futile effort :/

The spambot and its posts have been deleted. Thanks to the moderators who tried to deal with it earlier. Unfortunately the stock flood protection leaves a lot to be desired.
There's an old and unsupported phpbb mod I'll try if it occurs again - don't want to install it immediately in case this is a one-off and the mod causes more problems than it resolves.

Isn't there a mod that requires the manual entering of a randomly generated graphic (non pasting) security code to login with?
I have noticed a lot of sites using this method on their downloads pages.

IMO, a good idea is adding a usergroup for spammers (which drops its users' privileges) so a moderator would at least have the ability to suspend a user temporarily until all mods agree to ban him (or not).
