Spambots

Right,
We all hate them we really do.
So, here's a solution.
If someone registers and has not posted
for a month afterwards.
Then delete their account.
This forum is for serious discussion, and black francis.
That goes for any existing spambots.

I do my best to keep the spambots at bay with some built in security. I can also see the IP addresses and e-mail addresses people or spambots use to sign up if they get past that and then clean those up manually.
Since the beginning of 2011, you had to sign up to read the forum so I won't delete any inactive accounts just based on the fact they haven't posted.

Did crystal89 ask for back-talk? I think he just told you you need to start deleting some accounts.

Has the gender of crystal89 been determined? I could have sworn this person was female. Would you care to enlighten us, crystal89?

I think we need a specialty Dr to determine this properly. Has anyone seen Dr Cheese?

I conceived crystal89 as a gender-ambiguous spirit. His/her comments are intended to be un self-consciously addled, while at the same time conveying just a soupcon of retardedness.

Or maybe a he/she with the IQ of a hammer and some Goldie Hawn thrown in?
