We are banning them left and right, but they are relentless lately and we can't keep up. Just help us by continuing to report them as soon as you see them.

is there a way to force people to update their "location" or else they can't make any post?

this way bot account can't post without going to change their profile which is impossible for them because they're written program that is running on the site.

Frank,

I will post this suggestion to the administrators and other mods and see if that is a feasable option. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for reporting them
