OK a guy named muzrinkl signed up, then had his spambot PM EVERYONE on the board. I've installed a flood control on the PM's which should eliminate this issue in the future. Just delete the PM and don't follow any of the links.



Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

basically what it does when you click that link is search through your browser history and take you to the site you visit the most.

I notice we're getting a few DVD software SPAM threads lately. Seems like I have to shitcan at least one every morning, except this morning, someone beat me to it!

I banned the ip those were coming from, so hopefully we will be done with those. I need to show you guys how to remove posting privs so they can't continue to just create them.

most of the spammers do one post and never come back, i banned a few and put a few into moderater preview- no one ever comes up in preview so i just assume they never come back to post again anyhow
