General forum drowned out by spambots offering call girls at third world hotels

IBJoel is working on it. For now someone on the staff has to be here to spam ban.

Damn, I just spam banned someone by mistake because I spam banned 30 of these spammers. I lifted the ban but I have to go make sure their posts are restored.
Crap

@ admins:

Is it OK for me to create a test account - so I can check out the current registration process and just maybe provide some help/info to reduce the spam problem?

If yes - who do I contact (PM or email) about any details (publishing stuff publicly can risk giving info to spamers)?

Don't promise anything, but am willing to do what I can to help (I've got some experience fighting spam for WordPress and a couple of forums).

Edit:
Hapy to take on (temporary) admin/mod duty if the onboarding hassle is worth it compared to what I might help in terms of janitor work related to this spaming swarm (my time zone is CET if that info is relevant).
