Wrong Thread Posts

It seems that there are a lot of topics posted in the wrong thread by first time posters lately which makes very suspicious. Mods can we keep on top of this like graffiti...cover it before it covers us? Every day lately there is a new thread in the Mountain Bike section that is not mountain bike related and all of them have been first time posters.

Yes, we seem to have a lot of new accounts posting very random things at the moment, which always makes me suspicious.

As you did with this example, if members can report any posts that are suspicious, we will look into it.

As @Pricey_sky has alluded to, there's actually a lot more being submitted than you see, but the spam filters are catching it.

It's hard for us to keep on top of it as moderation is generally reactive rather than proactive. Reports etc. are really helpful in this case and we are looking out for it.
I really appreciate what you do, but.
The mountain bike thread is currently almost impossible to read due to a constant proliferation of spam.
