Please don't respond to spam bots with cheesy witticisms, guys. It means I have to press more buttons!

Thanks.

Just delete the first post, and you're golden, sunshine.

Simple as that.

Lolz, Illum is a turrible admin.

:) - once a topic has a reply in it, you can no longer just delete the first post in the topic. The option doesn't exist. You have to either delete every post in reverse order or go into the moderator control panel and delete the topic from there.

Quite cumbersome.

So yeah- leave the spam posts alone.

I beg to differ.

Yes, Illum is right. Kotenku is wrong.

In other news:

The sun rises in the east.

The spam bots appear to be back, and bring gifts of porn.

We're actively deleting them as soon as we see 'em. If you witness a spam post, please notify a DM on IRC if you can catch one! This is something we definitely do not want on our forum.

(Though it is kinda nice of them to put it all in Off-Topic)

Thank you for your help!

As a counter-measure to the spam bots, e-mail verification has been added to forum registration. I know many of you guys use multiple forum accounts, and knowing that one e-mail address can only support one account, this could be problematic. In the coming days I'll attempt to allow you to register multiple accounts with the same e-mail, so you can get past the verifications without having to create extra e-mail accounts or go through other measures.

That didn't take long.

You may now register multiple accounts with one e-mail address.

Thank you Stargod!
