How you going to get hacked when you have an approval process?

Awful

All they need to do is to force mod approval for the first few posts, and enable creating threads at 10 posts or so. Problem solved.

Not great, but the spam gets old rather quickly and isn't funny anymore.

Activity across all community platforms has seen a noticeable decline as of late. If that continues, together with the spam issue, I fear the cost/benefit ratio could reach a point where they may have to shut the forum entirely.

Yup, the exact same thing happened to the official Back in Action forum.

Hopefully the next big update with mapping support will chase away the spam and tumbleweeds.
