All-Star Spam

[King]

Sorry about the spam. As we have become increasingly popular and are reaching the type of traffic major websites get spammers are now targeting fierce more than ever. Because of the newbies forum and everyones continued help reporting the spam they are not allowed to get any further (this is great because if they were they would try and post 100 messages in under an hour... it sucks!). I am working on some more strengthen registration techniques and ways for people to clean up their own profile (and change their own username!)

Added new second layer of registration checking. Hopefully should slow down new registrations (there are current spam bots registered, havent found them all).

Thank you for the time and hard work you put it for the board.

Good news, all spam posts last night were from users 2 days or older. That means it prevented any new registrations. Now just need them all to post spam, get banned, and slowly eliminate them all.

It grew. 7,000 rejected registrations last night. I don't think one got through.

kingston , do yall ever actually read the "report reasons?" Do you ever chuckle at them?

 

[King]

Mamarazzi all the time.

there are about 100-200 spammers that got through before the new scheme. they should slowly show themself or get deleted after 6 months of no activity.
