New, spam seeking users
« on: July 21, 2011, 10:48:08 AM »
I have been clearing out the pending users for about a week now. I almost thought that one person wasn't a spambot. Turns out the IP and email had about 5000 reports of spamming. Welp.

Another interesting thing is we keep having sexcams try joining the boards. I am not sure how a sexcam would work, but I might be imagining it wrong.

Ah, I figured SOMEbody else must be doing it since the list was clean the last couple times I checked it.

Approved 7 accounts which looked like they might be real people (but are probably not).

A summary for the people not reading the admin board: we have a plan to deal with this, but it involves the guy who runs the server not being homeless.

I'll die before I admit that a homeless person isn't better in the stew than making it.

It's funny because I'm sitting here in my house with no fridge and no cookware and I could really go for some soup right about now.
