    Are there no admins in here????

    I'm tired of having to look at spam posts on this site. Are there not admins assigned to removing and banning people for spamming in the forums?? Half the new posts at any given time in here are freaking spam. I understand that people will do this, but we shouldn't have to report a post in order to get it removed when it is obviously spam. This is a busy enough forum that there is no reason that a spam post should be on here for longer than a couple hours, tops, IMO. It's frustrating...

    A proper forum, a true professional forum, is what we need. And it may even solve the spams (changing the registration rules, like really owning a Ubisoft game before being allowed to post...)
    This old phpbb forum from the 90s is depressing, and would be ok if Ubisoft were a small startup created last year by three college friends...but com'on... Ubisoft... 'nuff said.

    Of course they care!

    The spam is annoying but they're doing their best. They're just moderators, they don't actually create the forums and it's security.
    Making post after the post about it is not going to make it go away.

    While the moderators may be doing the best they can Ubisoft itself is not ..... You'd think a corporation that can write code for complex open world games would be able to figure out how to code a more effective spam filter like thousands of other message boards have done ..... 20 freaking years ago .....

    On some forums, new posters cannot post their first 1-5 posts before their posts are approved by humans. On other forums, new posters have to wait for one hour before they can post anything. Bots try to post immediately so they raise all red flags and get permabanned (IP and email banned) before they even begin to spam.... There are many ways really. I am not sure what's wrong with this forum.
