Something the Mods Never Ever Talk About.....
« on: July 17, 2007, 07:24:17 PM »
Ever had a look at the Latest Member in the upper right hand corner of the Main Forum page?

Ever seen the handles that smut merchants register under? ::)

They have it tough-they have to try and get the smut past the Mods but still bring people's attention to the fact that they are-in fact-smut merchants. :D

Good for a laugh occasionally but must be a PITA for the Mods.

Spammers are constantly registering. We do the clean sweep once a day or a couple of days to rid the accounts. The current setup means they are unable to make a spam post automatically even when registered, just have to ignore the member list and leave the work to us.

It has been talked about many times before actually, just lost in the archive and once awhile someone brings it up. Not sure which is more tiring, deleting the accounts or explaining it again everytime.

It's tiresome the spammers!  >:(

I have a right to fish and a responsibility to treat this right as a privilege.

Ethics is your actions and behaviour when no one is watching.

A problem well stated is a problem half solved.

Since when was snagging just a question of ethics and personal choice?

Sam, have you ever read this thread pinned to the top of the General Discussion forum?

Explains that actions have been taken and that we are very aware of the amount of spam coming in everyday.
