Because we can catch them registering, we can catch them browsing the general forum, and we can catch them creating the new threads. They are real, live people creating accounts and creating threads. I could easily easily create the 3-6 pages worth of spam threads they create overnight by copying and pasting. If it was an automated bot, we'd stand no chance at keeping up with them. No chance whatsoever. They'd never stop. They'd create them faster than we could possibly ban/delete them if it were automated.
Our security isn't that lax. An unattended script can't register and create the 100s of threads we're seeing. If it could, we'd already be out of business.
