Though this has been reported in another thread, I noticed you asked "how can we stop this?"

Simple, put up a password.

You shouldn't have to put up a password in order to prevent members from spamming your region - it should be a given that it isn't right.

Perhaps, but if the region in question get's spammed alot, then a password is the only 100% way of stopping it. The region may not get spammed alot, but a password will stop any more spam if someone tries again.

The question was "how can we stop it?", I answered it, whether users believe it is right or not.

Just report the spammers to the mods and they wil probably be deleted, there are better ways to report spam than on the moderation forum although i havent reported any spam myself.

The mods have real lives outside the game and a lot to deal with in the game; be patient

A password shouldn't be necessary--many regions are heavily opposed to passwording as it tends to damage population (my region obviously doesn't hold that opinion, but many do).

The only thing you can really do, if you are opposed to passwording, is to telegram the nation in question and ask them to stop, or to immediately report them.

To have the problem quickly taken care of and sometimes even have the spam taken off your board, try IRC and #themodcave.

As TH said, the mods have lives and also a hefty tasklist--but if it really bothers you so much, reporting the offender via chat is the quickest way to get the problem solved every time.
