There are moderators (most are volunteers), but they are people too and have to work/sleep.
Unfortunately these forums are pretty ancient and there are no automated protective systems put in place to stop thread spamming.
- The very minimum would be adding specific keywords so that these spams are automatically deleted by the system.
- Somewhat more intelligent system would be something like CAPTCHA along with internal timers to prevent a person from creating so many threads in such a short time.
- Or a system that prevents fresh accounts from creating more than 1 thread per 24 hours.
There are so many ways to combat this, but unfortunately the forum is outdated so this keeps happening and then requires manual moderation to step in, at which point it's already too late because the forum is entirely filled with these bots.
