Those crappy bots are spamming all areas for newbies(Language-specific and Newbies Area).
There is anything theymos can do to stop these trolls?

We've always been battling them since some time ago -they're the bitcointalks and the mtgix scamming group. |

You get them on every single forum unfortunately, it's a universal problem that no one has found a real solution for yet.

IP banning tornodes and open proxies works great. |

I'd like to be able to better admin tools personally, nothing worse than having 32 spammers popping up all over the place and having to single click them all to get rid of them  |

I don't know if SMF supports this but one method that people have reported great success with is disabling the ability to post external links for new users. Bot tries to send its message, it doesn't go through due to the spammers link, bot sits there not knowing what to do. |
