oh hell

[Gee-chan]

If you look in the regular roleplaying, help desk and events forums right now it seems we have an advertiser. Just thought I should give the heads up.

I wish they would just learn and leave us alone already

[Mitera Nikkou]

Yeah, I already reported them. I'm sure they just want to share in the Christmas spirit. ;p

[Gee-chan]

What what? How dare you undermine me, sir! This was my moment of being a good citizen!

*cough*

ok, I'll be quiet now....

[Mitera Nikkou]

I will not be denied my reporting fun! U_U

I'm tempted to report your post. ;p

[Gee-chan]

Ohh? Are these fighting words I hear? I accept you challenge! What shall it be? Swords or pistols?

[Mitera Nikkou]

General Discussion isn't a place for it. I'll see you in the duel room. Of course, I'm too lazy, so you make the topic. ;p

[Gee-chan]

naa, I can't be bothered either...but if anyone asks it was a fierce battle



huh? what do you mean anyone can read this?

[Helel]

I appreciate the heads up, but in zee future Gitskreig, you can just report the posts as CP did. ^_^

The SPAM has been tossed now though, so thanks for the helpage.

[Mitera Nikkou]

A shame, too. I'm hungry.

[Funny Hat + Funny Accent]

Eat a reindeer.

Or a polar bear like Borealis does.

[Mitera Nikkou]

What would Borealis do, when he had to suggest a food or two? He'd suggest to eat a polar bear, because that's what Borealis would do.

more spam has poped up and so have a few more bots. any change we can just ban the bots?

[Mitera Nikkou]

That would be nice if only certain bots could browse the place, like search engine bots do (who have a name show up with the visitors despite not having a user account), but the forums recognize them as guest users and I have no idea if they can be recognized for what they are. I assume that's why people come up with things like Captcha, and banning IPs, because forums can't tell a person from a bot unless a bot identifies itself (like I'm assuming the search engine bots do).

I've already suggested going back to having the admins accepting the registrations, but they probably wouldn't be able to check them often enough even if they decided to. It's the best idea that I know of, since there was no spam by bots when I did it, because I wouldn't activate suspicious accounts.

[Sasha]

That would be for the best

[Malcontent]

perhaps the duty could be split between a couple of people? Admins only for registration and bot cleansing?
