My software doesn't have bugs. It just develops random features.

Do you have a hour emergency call systems broadcasting radio station WNYW or Internet Explorer? Well? Which one?

Again, not really worth posting a topic over. Most spam accounts never get around to posting because a) most never get around to getting their emails confirmed, therefore cannot post. The ones that do both create spam accounts + confirm their email addresses are far and few between and are easily bankable as they pop up. It's not worth the effort/time to actually prune every single spam account ever created.

The reason I brought it up is because if these spammers had 1 braincell, they were getting ready to just mass spam all over the forums. It isn't that hard to hire someone to activate all of those accounts or create a bot that activates it for them, and use the existing spam tools to attack. I've seen happen before, but I guess it's just my over active imagination.

@ Soda

I already ate the bots, they were crunchy and tasted good with ketchup.

I can listen to 10 people a once, but unfortunately you are the 11th. Sucks to be you

Again, not really worth your time to individually ban all of them. I can easily do a mass prune. Surprised they got through the filter, though.

If there's a will, there's a way.
I think we should close this thread though.
