Spam
What's with all the spam, and why isn't it being cleaned up? Some of the messages are still here over a week later!
I think all new accounts should be moderated until they have at least ten non-spam posts approved, and everyone should be prevented from posting more than one message a minute.
And, to the idiot(s) posting it: do you really think anyone here would be stupid enough to buy cheap drugs just because you're bombarding the forum with them? X-(

It's most likely a bot, but it's silly that JetBrains doesn't do anything, I mean these kind of things should not be tolerated.
I really hope that the folks at JetBrains understand how annoying it is for us and will do something about it soon!
Oh, what a surprise: another day, another front page full of spam posted by "denso farmoza". The same idiot who was posting spam yesterday. And the day before.
Why is this account still enabled? X-(

You better do something about these things. there are million ways to handle these things yet nothing is done.
One way of doing that aside of the trivial ways such as captach and timers is providing each customer that bought one of your products a unique key that will be asked during registration or login once, you will save a lot of these inconvenience situation.
Locking out anyone who doesn't own the products isn't a workable solution.
It's not just that you'd be preventing potential new customers from being able to ask "Can it do X?", but some of Jetbrain's products (ex InteliJ Idea) have free versions so there are users who never bought a product key that could be used for validation.
Beyond captcha's requiring the first few posts of new users to be moderated before being published would stop spam in its tracks; but would need people to cover the moderation queue 24/7.
You're right, it's just an idea though. ;)
You've removed a lot, but you've still missed some:
I reported some of these last week using the "report abuse" link, but they're still there...
Thank you Richard! Removed all of these. Additionally, we have introduced temporary pre-moderation to combat the attack.
