If you really wanted to know, you'd have searched for it using the search function and would have seen that there are over 7 threads by now about the same topic

I know there are 7 other threads... however, why do they only target one area..? Aren't there any filters which can block this kind of spam..?

Its changing, sometime ago it was Bitcoin discussion, before that it was just any random board etc.

No, it would've been implemented if there was by now. The reason being, the words(count as well) are random
Edit: This thread is not needed, if you have any question , ask them in the other 7 threads.

He can do it as much as he wants to, we are never going to give in and the team of patrollers is more than capable of handling the situation ATM. Sometimes it takes a while longer for some of the posts to get removed but it is usually because it was not reported and sometimes because we are busy (holidays and all). You should not worry about it, it is just a slight annoyance.

because they feel like the forum is falling apart, usually when those spam bot overtake a forum it's only because it's near its end or something like that

i see this plenty of time with other forum that becoem less and less active, spam bot enter in play....

you see plenty of users, but i would not be suprised if in reality we are only 100 with everybody having 50-100 alt at this point...

There is many users tried to just increasing their signature posts by spamming
But it's hard for them nowadays as the moderators can kick them out anytime
