It's nice to see them catering to niche users of a niche game system.

Niche in Japan maybe, but in France it was HUGE!
Spambots know that ;)

Not only this board needs more moderators, but David seriously should activate the validation email fonction for registrations so people would have to get a confirmation mail to a valid adress, manually activate their account and then be logged before they can post.
This would lock out most of these stupid bots out.

The e-mail validation is activated, they provide real e-mail addresses (most of the time a .ru address) and it's a bot that respond to the validation e-mail. What I would need to change is the confirmation code where you must guess a series of letters and digits, the current one is apparently easy to break.

I was getting a lot of spam on one of my forums, so I started by banning all *@mail.ru users. That stopped a great deal of them, but not all, so I simply did a hostmask ban on ALL *.ru users. That stopped the vast majority of spambots.

Sure, it works, but think for a moment of the ethics of banning all internet users from Russia...

The forum in question never had any legitimate users from Russia, so there was no problem in doing that. Furthermore, it's a sad reality, but reality nonetheless, that sometimes, many suffer for the mistakes of a few. I doubt this forum has any legitimate members from Russia either...
