New members would probably be more discouraged by the rudeness (like in auctions, discussions etc) than the spammers.

Oh my goodness. About 18 pages of spam :O
I've been seeing accounts like these for a while. They keep changing their IP address and making gibberish accounts doing nothing but making threads full of pirated movie website links, numbers, and other garbage. Looks like they managed to put a spam bot in this time.

This is the most intense spambot I have ever seen. Let's all take a moment to appreciate this.
Plot twist: it's not a spambot

thank u, u saved me a whole research
By the way, we ARE working on the bot stuff, there are just over 388 posts that we had to remove manually.
Apple, you seem to just love to assume that we're all incompetent, may I ask why that is? Is it because most of us have actual jobs and other real life situations that require our attention, like our families and school? Did you know that some of the staff live on opposite sides of the world and are currently asleep? Or is it because of these facts that we don't always get on the Bell Tree to fix problems as soon as they happen that upsets you so greatly?
Contrary to popular belief, we do not spend every waking hour on the Bell Tree. None of us are paid for the service we provide for our members, not the admin, not the moderators. We take time out of our schedules to make sure this is a nice place for everyone to enjoy. Yes, this place is flawed and yes, there are problems, be it members or spambots. It's like this on every forum. If you'd stop looking at the bad and started looking at the good, you might find that the Bell Tree is actually a really enjoyable and relaxed place. You should be a little more respectful to the staff -- who bend over backwards when they're here to do their jobs, or you can just stop wasting your time and try another website that better suits your needs.
I'm going to be honest here, even if it makes you upset. You fail to realize that we're not perfect people. You fail to realize that this isn't supposed to be a perfect forum. You fail to realize just how much work Jeremy and the rest of the staff put into running this forum, Jeremy especially. I honestly get where you're coming from and how angry you must be that we are so feeble minded that we don't come rushing to the forums needs exactly when the forum needs something but the truth is, Apple, that we never have and never will be a perfect forum where problems are solved instantly -- no matter how many moderators or filters we have. Oh and by the way, we do use a spam filter, it's not a perfect system either which is why suddenly bots have flooded the forums. We're working on a getting new filter which takes time and money so for now, unfortunately, you're just going to have to deal.
If you have any more insightful comments on how we should be doing our jobs (since you have so much experience) please feel free to PM me, I'll be happy to respond and relay your message to the others.

I know we usually discourage PM and ask you to report issues, but in urgent instances like this it would have been really helpful to have received a PM about it. I've spent most of my day at the computer doing coursework occasionally refreshing TBT, and a PM would have sent both a pop-up to my screen and a notification to my phone. I would've dealt with this 4-5 hours ago if I'd been aware of it.

To answer your questions, it was a reaction to some posts from other members on GameFAQs on how people who are rude over contrasting opinions never get their posts deleted. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong picture and using the straw man fallacy. It could possibly be that there isn't enough reporting. I will take back the "weak moderation comments" and not repeat them again. Sorry for my snippiness.
Of course, there is no perfect forum on the internet. In fact, no matter where I go, there's always going to be rude people who will never learn from their mistakes, especially on the internet. But at least it's not a war zone, right? I do talk like this in real life too, not just the internet.
These are all things we literally already have.
