I hate the forced UWP/Metro/Tablet UI in Windows 10/11, I wish they kept at least the Control Panel.

Edit: I'm letting the community decide by using a poll.
Edit again: Poll closed, you can state your opinion in the replies.
Recently, this forum has fallen in terms of spam management. Although they do get either deleted or moved to Recycle Bin at some point, they are pretty slow to do so. With the increase in spam threads and copied posts from either Reddit or this forum that will have malware links inserted into them eventually, I believe that this forum should have more admins.
Edit 2: It seems this idea has come to fruition, somebody got promoted to moderator.

There does indeed seem to be a pretty big increase in spam lately, so we will look into this.

Is it possible to add in some kind of questionaire to register to deter bots? It won't solve the latest batch of scammers who are human, but it would cut down on some of the spam?

I'm not too familiar with how Proboards work tbh. I know you can do it on (older) vBullitin boards though.
