Admittedly I have no name in mind but if the forum did get a different name it wouldn't get half the spam (indeed it would get but a tiny fraction) and more would end up in Aardvark which is after all the intended "trap" for such posts.

We're currently looking at ways to curb spam it's just not as easy as one thinks.

Renaming the forum isn't a great idea either as it would only solve the problem for the forum we rename, which will just push other forums to the top of the list and then they'd receive the spam.

The spam trap aardvark forum will catch the newbie spammers (which is quite a few) any spammer who could pretty much read English could just start targeting the next forum down.
