Well, I looked around the board after I logged out and there were various points where I could posts as an unregistered user and by the looks of it most of the subforums in the ency are susceptible to spammers. Only exceptions are the SAE encyclopedia and everything after Latvia since those encyclopedias are not visible to a person who is not logged in.
Considering that the SAE encyclopedia is unregistered user proof, I think that Hooman might know what to do...
... unless it was so long ago that he worked on those subfolders that he has forgotten how he did it. :)

His name was the one which first came to my mind. Or perhaps he could consult with Testpilot for a solution. Right now these are merely stupid and obvious spam... I hope that they do not presage anything malicious.
To me it seems we can get rid of these spammers subfolders only, if one takes the action to check all boards where guests shall not be allowed to post have the checkbox set on "deny". Sadly this is some work to do and time consuming...

Bad news - if you block them there, no unregistered visitor can post anymore.
