Imagine you will take care of it before this maybe but GeorgeSpubs on the Ravenloft Forum is clearly a bot likely from Russia that flooded its own post with replies to itself.

They seem to be posting in the same areas first. Is there someway to set up a honeypot type section that will ban non-mods that post in it? I've seen that on Discord and the like lately. Bots usually start from the top and work down, after all.
