(L) [2006/04/12] [tbp] [Spam bots] Wayback!Heh.
Anonymous posts are allowed, so they don't even need to bother registering to begin with.
That will have to change if it escalates.
Edit: forgot to say that we lost a member, he will be missed.
(L) [2006/04/14] [tbp] [Spam bots] Wayback!It's a bit sad, but given the current trend, anonymous posting may have to go at some point.
(L) [2006/04/14] [Ho Ho] [Spam bots] Wayback!Could you try blocking posting by username? Perhaps that bot is so stupid it won't try other usernames [SMILEY Smile]

(L) [2006/04/14] [Phantom] [Spam bots] Wayback!I am deleting every post of 22222 I encounter, as it looks unprofessional on a forum, I think. As soon as it's impossible to keep up, we need real counter measures.

(L) [2006/07/06] [tbp] [Spam bots] Wayback!I've failed a bit behind my admin duty it seems, i've been banning/deleting about 1 account every couple of days. Thanks for stepping up [SMILEY Wink]
(L) [2006/07/06] [tbp] [Spam bots] Wayback!Banned & nuked another couple of accounts.
I'm sorry but from now on registration will require admin activation.
(L) [2006/07/06] [Phantom] [Spam bots] Wayback!Did you also disable guest posting then?

(L) [2006/07/06] [Phantom] [Spam bots] Wayback!Ah so *you* are 'Shadow007notloggedin'. [SMILEY Wink]
But true, for some reason, anonymous posting isn't being abused... Strange.
