How are bots still getting through?

I think an old promotion setting might still be in place. So if they post so many then it just approves anything. I could be wrong but that's one of my theories on this.

Hmm, if this was the case (let's say if you post 5, it gets approved) wouldn't we see something like:

Thread 1 - 2:01pm
Thread 2 - 2:01pm
Thread 3 - 2:01pm
Thread 4 - 2:01pm
Thread 5 - 2:01pm
Thread 6 - 2:02pm
Thread 7 - 2:03pm

Attempting to remember how the whole promotion system works. To my knowledge, if their usergroup/rank or whatever get changed we still wouldn't see the unapproved posts (because they're unapproved until made otherwise) however we would see newly created threads - if what Matt is saying is correct.

How many threads do the spambots even create? I don't know what the promotion system is ranked by, but I'm sure it'd not something like 5 is it?

Well, if the promotion system ends up posting all threads at once when that magic number is reached, then it's not the promotion system causing an issue, because the bot today posted them 1 by 1, and reached about 10...

Can someone post me a link to the user profile of the spam bot? Want to check one of their threads. I should be working (A)

After the bot has been 'promoted' only the new threads they make would be approved - this is assuming my memory serves me well. I could be completely wrong.

That would make sense then That means if it is the promotion system, it just needs to be turned off

I wish the promotion system worked for staff too, seen as 65% or more of the people who post are actually staff
