So I'm sure I'm not the first person to make a thread about this, however I wanted to anyway due to not seeing one on the current first page.
These spam forum posts that are popping up with the strings of numbers and indecipherable insanity seem to have come out of nowhere recently. I know that it isn't a super big deal or anything and I know this isn't new, however I really enjoy reading the forums on this site and only just recently have I seen them popping up (literally the first one I saw was last night, where I saw 2-3). I am only making this thread because I feel it is really dumb for it to be happening when I would much rather see a thread on people's thoughts or ideas about something that pertains to Hearthstone. Does anyone know why they do it? Is there anyway to prevent it from happening? I report them as soon as I see them now, but I would love if there was some form of proactive approach to keep them off the front page.

Thanks for your thoughts!
Spam-bots are pretty much constant. We've been getting lots of them, on a daily basis, for many months.
The reason you haven't seen them before now is that the system works. You see it, you click Report, and a mod cleans it up momentarily.
