        Good news everyone! Out of the 933 registrations that we're attempted as of the install of this plugin, we've blocked 900 of them! A couple of bots got through, but they too have been submitted to the spam database and will now be blocked as well.

            Cleaned up. Though there is a report button, it'll flag it directly in the mod forum so I can tag that direct post as spam and clean it up quicker.

            Thinking the forum may need an update.

                No worries mate.

                Looking through the newest joined members and weeding out a fuckton of adbots, spambots at the moment.

                I'll have to get Carn or see if I can catch Dot when he isn't doing WoW or Skyrim to see if he or if he can get Ice or someone to update the forum again because I'm suspecting a security patch needs to be done.

                  Also, folks, a note - please mention it if Spambots post on your wall, and delete them. The damned things are being so invasive that Google has flagged the frickin' site as potentially compromised/, so we need to delete as much of there bullshit as possible.

                    "Might" have fixed the spambots. Gonna have to keep an eye on things for a little while.

                    Problem was that the latest forum update replaced our previous security system for newly registered users with the default captcha thingy (which of course all spambots have adapted to ages ago; unlike the RE trivia quiz we normally have)

                      I've been looking into the security issue. It seems some spambots actually became so pervasive on the forums that Google flagged us as a potential spam/hacked site. We actually aren't, thankfully. I'm investigating the matter myself though at the present time and I'll have a report in the coming days. Perhaps also some news on THIA's future direction if CARN would get on Skype.

                          There's always been an ignore function.

                            Well when I asked about it to certain 'Mods' They told me there is no such function on this forum. So they either full of it or dont know this forum very well.

                              Odd, because I've suggested it to people - several times - in the past. Inevitably they'd much rather argue with each other than ignore them.

                                Trust me if I knew about it I would have done this a long time ago.
