The spam posts went from 100 an hour to 2 an hour after I turned on cloudflare, it very clearly had a positive effect.

No other sites do this because we don't have any money or employees or anything. Reddit has hundreds of full time paid staff. Most other forum websites of our size or larger also have paid staff. We run on $120/mo total so it's not going to run like a million dollar operation.

Cloudflare's implementation has drastically reduced spam posts, demonstrating its positive impact. However, the lack of resources and paid staff limits the forum's ability to match the capabilities of larger platforms with dedicated personnel.
