We have all noticed, and been annoyed by, BOTs probably using AI making a nonsense response to a thread from years and even decades ago.  Those posts are always dated the same date as the member joined by date, and the first and only post.  Hit and run.  

ADMIN:  perhaps you could add a control to the forum that a newly registered member cannot make a post until 24 hours after they join?  That might cut down these annoying and useless posts.  A legitimate human can surely wait 24 hours for their first post.
