It's truly not a big deal. Just report it and they'll get it
Hate to be the negative one, and I know mods are trying their best, but I have never seen a forum hit by so much spam before.
It's actually ruining the experience for me, resulting in me browsing the forums here less and less. Can't you put a small post cap on users per day?

It is pretty bad like.
Is there a way to stop anything posted in the "Introductions" section from showing in the right hand column of "Recent Threads"? and perhaps limit new users to the Intro section for a few posts.
It is clear that despite the great team we have they cannot be online 24/7 and why should they. But the issue is starting to have a negative impact on the community and none of us want that.

There have already been more limitations and as a result they sometimes just register more users at the same time and spam their filth that way.
I have to agree though, it is ruining the experience and no matter how hard our good mods and admins clean up after it, there is always more just around the corner, which puts even more strain and time on moderators and probably also affect their mood, Not this again.
I really don't know what other options are available, switching to a different hosting company might help curb some of the spam but it feels more like OC3D is a target at this point.

I'm no website designer but surely simply blocking the use of those letters/characters would hamper them considering it's been all Korean so far, According to google translate, And no one with sense would register on an English forum to speak Korean.

Only if they do a BOGOF offer.
Group buy! Even though I have no idea what BOGOF means, and I'm scared to Google that from work.

Even more spam crap, I wonder if the person who set this up, As it has to be a person, Knows that generally English speaking forums can't read Korean ?

It's only gotten worse since people started complaining. Coincidence? I think not.
As for your post, it's just a bot script. Doesn't care what the language of the forum is. Just designed to run forever and ever it seems

Probably because we're on old forum software with less features for this sort of stuff.
