Hey DGSquared!
Thanks for your comment, our dev team has done a great job in patching the vulnerabilities to eliminate the barrage of spam that hit the forum after the initial system update. We have also fixed moderator capabilities, ensure that all potential spam posts are set to "awaiting approval" by default. If a post makes it thru the awaiting approval filter that is spammy in nature it can be reported and we have been received notifications on these as well.
That being said, unfortunately spam does get thru, it's just the nature of having a forum, but we have made great strides in improving the infrastructure.
We are also in the process of bringing on new moderators, check out this post for more details:

Feedback is very much appreciated on how we can continue to improve, if you see something on the forum or have suggestions on what we can do better please don't hesitate to let us know.
Thanks again and we appreciate you being a part of the community!
