I still think the problem could easily be solved. Ask a question or two about vBulletin (anyone who joins likely wants to know about or modify vBulletin, so it's safe to assume they'll have seen the .com site as well (like, 'What is vBulletin's slogan?' or 'What is the latest major vBulletin release?') Then maybe something like sending all posts tagged by spam keywords for new members to the moderation queue (like add iphone or such like to the list).

You don't have to explain to me in fighting against those spam bots. It's common sense what has to be done but you have two posts in this thread one from an official stafff member responding which doesn't help and an advisor which is Off-topic. If they aren't bothered about it why should you be?

They obviously feel that the amount of spam posted on the org is not to the extreme and to be honest I don't see many threads that are spam related. In short, let them deal with it in the way they know how and don't worry about it because you can bet your bottom dollar noone else is.
