We're aware of the spam bot issue, and have reached out to those with administrative access over the forums. Unfortunately the mods can't do anything other than move these threads to a hidden channel, and that seems to just make the bot more active. If there's a discussion you want to have pinned to the channel for the time being, let us know here and one of the mods will help with that.
Maybe we should try and negotiate... say, perhaps we give him 5-6 enslavable IPs and he lets us go unspammed for a month?
