I love Spam. Taste great in Macaroni.

Agreed, although I wish the cans would still use those keys. The cans would open around the outside edge, instead of leaving an edge on the inside of the top of the can with those modern pull tabs. The meat just always gets a bit stuck behind it.



Anyway, enough about spam in a can.

Forum spam is an almost uncontrollable thing. Even when you run a little private forum with a bunch of friends, those spam bots and Spammers still seem to be able to find it and cause mischief.
You can install measures against it but that will get bypassed at some point again, and so on. So it is something you always simply have to stay up to date on and on top of as an administrator.

Mods can't implement countermeasures into the forum system itself. Mods can only control posts and ban users on ip and email addresses, at least in basic forum setup.

That said, mods surely are needed to remove whatever spam still manages to seep through. So you guys can't be missed yet.
