... all talking about customer care numbers.

Maybe Apple should make these Dev Forums just for signed-in Developers? If a Developer spams, they can be blocked. But if just anyone can register and post, they can spam, get banned, then start a new account.

Or, Apple should implement some way of blocking the spam before it gets posted.

I really don't understand what these spammers think they're getting out of doing this? Who is going to look through the forums and think, "Oh, a customer care number for something I've never heard of? I should phone that immediately!" Really does prove that spammers are dumb.

I fully agree.

May be limit access for non developers to reading but not posting ?

Or only allow post by non developer after entering a one time passcode provided by the forum ?

Or wait for a moderator verification (that was done in some circumstances in the past, for all users).

But let's avoid adding constraints for real developers.
