Spambots/0 Post count users
« on: December 10, 2013, 11:34:01 AM »
FYI, I am deleting 0 post count accounts en mass to try to curb the current rash of spambots.  As I'm deleting the accounts 50 at a time (which is still taking forever) there's a chance a few legit accounts may be collateral damage and get deleted in error.  If you have an account with 5 posts or less and can no longer log in, you may unfortunately need to recreate your account.

In regards to the spam post themselves, there's no reason to respond to it, that just makes it harder for me to find.  Please just report the post and leave it be.

Thanks.

The bots seem more active than ever. Could it be Skynet?

January 1st, 2014. The spambots have become self aware. They're performing tests in threads, repeating "A test, just a test" in the subject line. For some reason, this song is playing while I type this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udip7yF5gic
