--- Quote from: Doom on January 23, 2010, 05:40:37 PM --- --- Quote from: the7k on January 23, 2010, 03:16:19 PM ---Isn't it a bit sad how paranoid we've all become? I don't even understand it. It's not like this is a heavily trafficked site - we're just a small community and I doubt these "penis pill pushers" and other spammers are even getting one sale from this site. Anyway, welcome. Sorry you had to deal with the witch hunts that have been going on lately. --- End quote --- I'm sick of spam and I'm sick of banning people. In my time here, I've seen spammers with posts like "hi", "hello", etc. The email address was unexpected, but it didn't mean anything. --- End quote --- At a forum I used to moderate, me and the head admin used to just google search weird new members who registered. It was a slow place, so naturally most of them were bots. Some of the stuff we found in our google hunts were pretty funny though, I remember one that actually filled out an entire profile field, almost all of it was total nonsense, like Austin, TX being his favorite food. |

I just think it's sad that this place has become such a watering hole for spam bots. |

I would agree that Doom's query was without malice. No worries. ;) |
