In the meantime, I found a simple way to hide the posts you don’t want to see, using the ‘foe’ list.
If you click on the spammer’s profile, you can ‘add foe’ and it hides everything they post. Just for you though.

Maybe we must use that all. This isn’t stoppable anymore. Yesterday I deleted over 400 posts. And this already posted 109.
This voluntary job cost me more time a day then my daily job
Guys, all to you don’t give that ass the satisfaction of replying on it. It’s some one who enjoys the attention with his pathetic actions. And it is someone who thinks we stupid enough to click the links. But that shows that there is only stupid one in the forum….

Maybe we need to block new account creation for the time being. This is just getting ridiculous.

Is there at least a way to make deleted replies also delete the notification of their existence‽ I have to keep reopening the site every few hours to clear ~20 spam notifications every single time!

That I don’t know. I can’t see that, but I understand the frustration

Steps that could be implemented.
Close new registration for 1-2 weeks.
New members can't post for 1 week. (could just be a few days)
New members have to like 5 posts (could be 10, 15, 20) before they can post.
Daily post limit, or hourly limit.
These are a bit extreme, and not brilliant, but i think if used as a temporary solution to the spammer issue. It will serve its purpose.
Could just have it in place for a month or two, then suspend them.
Doesn't have to be all of them either.
Not sure how easy these are to implement, or it they are even possible, but it will deal with the spammers.

If brains were dynamite, these imbeciles couldn't blow off the back legs of a fly.
Anyway, thanks to the mods for having to put up with this pathetic stupidity.

I agree with this.
I think the board has to get extreme to deal with this because it's just going to be never ending and it's ruining it on here. I know the mods are doing the best they can and we all appreciate that but it's not really working as it is.
If you look at the new members list it's just constant spammer accounts signing up.
Anyway, thanks to the mods for having to put up with this pathetic stupidity.
