It's almost funny, really. Spamming 10 posts (plus all the posts ranting about having to spam posts)...to stop the spam posts...
If you truly have an issue with how the forum decided to mitigate spam you don't have to hang around just to complain about it. I'd rather open up the forum and see new members spamming the forum to gain access vs 100's of new threads and posts that are true spam. You have your ten, what do you really have to worry about?
