Yeah, but what's interesting is that 3DPrintBoard does appear to require first-post adjudication by a moderator in at least some of the subforums. Every now and then someone mentions this in the chatbox. For example, a new user just went through that in the QiDi printer subforum. Maybe the moderator in those subforums set it up that way - IDK. I do find it interesting that the spam is always in the same handful of subforums.
