    It's not that easy.
    They bypass the security checks and then its virtually impossible to detect them until they post.
    So, yeah.

    Plus they have been banning a few. Also where are they posting, I barely see them.

    Bots (or trolls?) all over General Chat, suddenly.

    Hey, yeah. Seriously. I'm putting aside my strong desire to be a mod, just to fight off these bots. They are causing me pain. If you give me special privileges temporarily, an account to PM, or just some way to get a list to people who can ban them, I will happily hunt down the spa bots. Just, please, let me help get rid of them.

    If you see one posting, report the post using this logo report.gif below their username/avatar/details.

    We do stamp them out as quickly as we can, but some will always sneak through.
