Any opinion how we can stop this?

No this is just the usual Chinese spam we get hit with on a daily basis and from what we can tell it's not bots posting.
I delete multiple accounts most days with up to 100 posts between them sometimes, depending how long it is that i have been offline.

If you ever see this then please just report a least 1 post or better still 1 post per user so i can get onto it asap.

Nobody has a full-time forum job here as we are not that busy yet, these spammers seem to know when i am offline amd hit hard during those times.
Not all mods can delete threads, most can only move posts to the trashcan section but thats practically useless with these guys, i will look at opening up this privilege to another mod to help in the times i am not online.

One thing we could also do is lengthen the post time locks for new users, this is currently set at 90sec last time i checked because I was reluctant to go to 120sec but may have to.

When a user reports a spam post it helps me get onto it all quicker, if you see spam report it

Thanks for that info.
I will report if I saw again like that post.
