Is the Spamming under control?
« on: March 05, 2011, 05:09:49 »

So this morning, some guy decided to be a hero and post around 30 spammer topics all over forum, I bet he will make another user and go again. What is this guy's problem, or the people from that country, I say nuke the country already what good news has ever come from there?

Err.. where do I start..  ::)

It's not a guy, it's most likely a program.

The country has nothing to do with it, it's just the first one in the list when 'it' registers.

Nuking anyone purely based on spam is going a wee bit too far, to say the least. A bit less bigotry goes a long way, you know. Have some respect please.

And I removed all of it with three easy mouseclicks.

All is well. The 1500 spammers who have been blocked since the introduction of the new anti-spam system at least didn't do similar things. It's well under control, you can rest easy.  ;)
