It's become little bit harder to report ANN bumping bot from patrol.

It's become little bit harder to report ANN bumping bot by visiting Patrol. Due to most of Jr. Members demoted on newbie all post are reflect on patrol. So reporting spam bot become harder for me except visit ANN thread one by one. There is any other way ?

Or could be exclude from patrol those are more than 60 activity?

I'd have though this would be a good thing to have more posts that you can penalise, I don't think there's a way around this, no... Just start reporting the other posts where spam is evident also.

I often check the bottom of the home page where the recent posts are or just open : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent
There you have an overview of what was posted recently not filtered by rank as the patrol.
If I see an Ann there, the first thing for me to do is to check the last comments and the posting intervals.

Then I check the postcounts of the last few pages and if I see many users with 3-4 posts, registered an year ago . guess what ... bumpers

This list is customisable with some simple url additions.

Adding ";board=x" where x is the board number will only show recent posts on that board. So for example, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;board=159 will only show recent posts on the ANN board.

You can string multiple boards together by changing "board" to "boards" and separating their numbers with a comma. Example:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;boards=67,159,224 will show several altcoin boards.

You can also use the modifier "c=x" to watch a category. Mouse over the headings on the main page to see the category numbers. Example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;c=1 will show all the Bitcoin boards. Categories are as follows:

Bitcoin - 1
Economy - 3
Other - 4
Altcoins - 6

Again, you can string categories together with a comma.
