I think this is the correct site to post this.

So I'm a moderator (not administrator) on anddev.org and it's completely infested with spam bots, just as fast as I ban them, more post.

I'm sure they can sign up faster than I can ban them.

There is a two stage first post sign up validation that they have clearly got around.

I'd also like to delete all posts by that user when they are banned. (which I can't see an option for)

Is there anything I can do?

EDIT

This was closed for the wrong reasons:

I'm just a moderator not an administrator I can't do any of the things in that wikipost. I wanted to know what I can do as a Mod, or how I can find more options, or even what the software is I am moderating!
