It amazes me that someone actually thinks there are organized groups of individuals out there whose sole objective is to spam the Bnet forums.
Spamming is not organized crime. They don't have groups, they don't work together, they don't "communicate" (or even have a need to), and it certainly isn't their all-consuming life goal. And even if they did organize, they wouldn't be using the resources of the site they are spamming.
Spamming is random. Some idiot has nothing better to do and decides to spam for fun. Maybe he'll do it a few times. Maybe he'll do it for a couple hours. Hell, maybe he'll even devote a whole day to attempted spammings. But it's not an objective, not a priority, not a quest. Spammers do it for fun, get bored, move on.
It's like public restroom graffiti. Do you honestly think there are organized teams of people working together to write "suk my dik" and "phil wuz here" in bathroom stalls all over the place?
And as many have stated before, black-listed users can simply sign out of Bnet and gain access to the whole site again, save posting on the forums and using the H2 stats system.
What can they do to stop this? Ban IP addresses? Not hard to get around. Some people have static, or simply use a proxy. Even the real computer-dumb people can simply go to another computer at a friends house, library, or school.
There is only so much you can do about spammers. And to be honest, I don't think it's all that big of a threat here on Bnet. I've seen far, far worse on many other sites.
