Spam finds its way into almost every forum, it's part of being on the internet. What is blood pressure raising is the stupidly long time, several hours, it takes to get rid of this garbage here when it is gone from the WoT & WoWS forums in minutes. Maybe new posters should have their posts approved for the first few and limited on what sub forums they are able to post in.
I used to have a handle on life until it broke off.

gotta say I agree with BrushWolf, at least that would make bots useless since they would be blocked by the huge amount of posts pending approval.

New posters would only need to be approved for a few, five maybe posts and only allow posting in other than the newcomers forum until they have say ten matches in. That would limit the damage the bots could do.

Having had to go to court as a plaintiff, just getting on the court's schedule can take months, and a resolution may take years. It may not be WG's fault, and they may have just now told us- not necessarily just started legal action.

Huh? Bringing legal action against spammers is generally close to impossible because they're typically overseas. It's the cluster of obvious similar spam accounts, and they way they get left up for hours and hours at a stretch that has gotten pretty obnoxious. This is something they could do something about easily if they wanted to.

what ever happened to them not posting until they completed the tutorial in game ? A minimal set of battles prior to posting say like 3-5

That would end the spam right there. Great idea. WG, I think FreeFOXMIKE accepts checks or cash. Pay the man and implement his suggestion.

Yeah, seeing that the people WG is currently paying to handle this can't seem to do their jobs properly
How long will today's spam last?

I've said the exact same thing before. They have the ability to stop it right now; apparently WGNA doesn't care that much.
