Just curious.
Actually, I made a thread to try to improve the site. Obviously the **** threads aren't a problem for most members, so its a mute issue. If you read my second and third posts it should be obvious that it wasn't an attack on the administrators. Hope that cured your curiousity Jack ***.

If anybody is interested in this sort of thing..

This.. is partially why its so tough to stop all of them.
Tip of the iceberg too.

I rarely see pornspam on here so, they're doing something right.

Damn, did some research on this topic. I didn't realize this spam thing was such big business. I apologize for the original post. I didn't realize that people devoted their lives to building these bots that go onto forums like these. I don't think the post limit would do anything. The spam bots would be programmed to quickly make 30 meaningless posts, and then start a thread. It looks like it would actually be worse (both annoying posts and threads instead of just threads).
