Spambots.

We know them.

We hate them. (A lot.)

And the occaisional one is unavoidable.

But this level is very hard to deal with.NEarly every new topic is a spambot. Some are dating things, others ads for products, some are casinos, and some are porn. And some are in their own class, such as this recent mutant dick one.

It's that sort which sickens me.

Now I know it's nobody's fault, except the [explicit] [explicit] that sends them. But we need to find a way to STOP this! Security codes at registration? Moving to a new site? We need to end this, and soon. I personally don't care how, but I'm fed up with this.

Again mods/admins, I realize it isn't your fault. But it needs to stop!

Excuse me!?

Jesus man, what is it with you and being rude and belligerent all the time!?

Can you see into the Mod section? Do you know what we discuss?

D'ya know what the admins get up to maintence whys?

No? Oh, how interesting. Then why pray, d'ya always act like you know what your talking about?

'cos we have done stuff, and we're still trying to fix it.

Gizzus a chancew, yeah?

And Pyth... we know its annoying... we have to clean it up. So its twice as annoying for us.

But ya know what else is annoying? People making topics that have already been made. Next time, do a search.
