Seriously we can a spambot infestation worse than roaches in a sleazy motel here and there doesn't appear to be any way to report them other than manually PMing all the moderators individually.

If there is a way to report posts and I just missed it feel free to slap me around and point it out.

It's the notify button below each post. I was thrown by that, too. I kept looking for a 'Report' button.

We shouldn't really have to report these. It is not like the spam is easy to miss

This lot wasn't hard to miss, but notifying does help if am doing something else, though (once per account is enough). My email program checks every 15 minutes for new mail, and generally pops up a notice and task bar indicator, which can help with reaction time if I am at my computer.

Well, with a proper anti-spam software stuff like that shouldn't even appear in the first place. This is the only "professional" forum I know which has basically no defense again spam bots...

A classier forum software like Xenforo or IP.Board would be nice.

I heard that D:OS has been selling very well because it is awesome. So, you know, hint, hint. horsey

Before Bioware Social's recent forum update, it was much worse...

At least the staff here are pretty quick to clear up the spammer's smearings.

Spam will break through even the most advanced defenses.
But yeah, if I see a spamthread, notify "spam thread" done...

Only once I saw them on page 3... usually front page.

I now have the power to delete spam on this forum. I hope I can help Raze to keep them at bay.
