Whats up with this absurd amount of spam?
For fucks sake. There's a dozen spam posts about fake passports that have been up for weeks. What gives? Are there literally zero mods around here these days?

Well, the mods don't get paid.
We get abused and derided by some for putting them back in line for being assholes.
When I get notified by a report, I step in and clean up what I can.
If there is a flood of posts, I defer it to Robert as it is easier for him to delete the account.
All that said, it's a rather thankless position.

Sounds like a pretty good summary.

Re: Whats up with this absurd amount of spam?
Not to blame moderators, but as a point of reference - when I moderated a tech forum many years ago I had the ability to ban an IP address or block of addresses with wildcards, but had to delete individual posts manually. That forum typically saw half a dozen spam posts per day owing to the somewhat lax policy of the site owner regarding registration - anyone could post as a guest for several years. At worst, it took me about 10 minutes to deal with a particularly bad attack. Now that's 10 unpaid minutes, and some days I'd not have time to check in so a handful of spam posts would remain for as long as 36 hours before I got around to dealing with them. But it really wasn't very difficult once I found a few minutes. Certainly not nearly that much volume of spam here.

At one time the software on this site was outdated, still may be, may add to the issues here.
