Yes, there's a bit of an epidemic at the moment. Sit tight, we'll hopefully be able to stem the flow as soon as possible.

Then I shall politely greet that esteemed and genteel member a good day and move along to our forum shenanigans and intellectual sparring.

There are spammers in other basketball forums as well. I think that someone has some more free time these days...

Eventually, spambots find a way past anti-spam measures. When that time comes - as it has now - it's a matter of shoring up the defenses to curb them once again.

Fingers crossed, they won't be bothering us for a while with the new measures we've put in place. It doesn't look like any new spambots are signing up following those changes, though we might still get some posts from bots that signed up beforehand. If so, please just report the posts and one of us will take care of them as soon as possible.
