Title: Kill the Spam
Post by: Massy2k6 on June 19, 2011, 04:11:09 pm: I havnt been online as much as I normally am, but have certainly noticed the huge increase in spambots in general.
What's with all the attention all of a sudden, Is anything being done about this?
Might want to think about making it a little harder to create an account with something like more verification e-mails? Or maybe adding some kind of grace period preventing new accounts from making more than 1-2 threads a day.
I'm sure others can come up with more ideas to get rid of these fu*kers.

Promote all the GW veterans into mods. No way that could backfire if the site somehow became popular again.

THE OLD WAYS!!!

That definitely didn't lead to corruption and dochebaggery haha!

Dada should be an admin of everything probably. If I had any kind of forum dada was a member of he'd obviously be an admin. obviously
