    I definitely need more help with the other mods being m.i.a. when I'm supposed to be on a quick break - I've already handled some of the individual posts as well, Esnemyl, but hunting down those manually is much more time consuming for a "one man army".

    I think the spammer is really mad at Shelly now and start spamming other regular topics, including this topic earlier.

    I feel for you. From the looks of the bot posts lately, you might as well be trying to bail out the Titanic with a colander, that has been shot with a 12-gauge.

    Drastic measure but maybe they should ban new accounts for a little while until they can plug up the bot holes

    If you dont start banning people or getting someone that can, this forum will soon get infested by por*n and worse, so please get someone that can ban hammer asap.

    Sorry for the circumventing, just making a point.

    I can sticky it, but it would be frowned upon as only official announcements should be stickied in the GD. I can sticky it anywhere else, but being as it would be ignored in the tech support forum, or any other forum that could be pointless.

    Then we'll just have to keep on occasionally bumping it for you Shelly; so it stays up on top of (page~1) so people can find it....

    Atleast until frankie decides to make this important thread an {Official Announcement} himself, for everyone who needs too know about it and whats going on with it.....




    {So lets hope that he does it soon, because this one really should be stickied}

    Still waiting on frankie to put up a new mod application.


    I'm getting annoyed with seeing all the damn spam threads and i'm a player who left to other games, yet still likes to view the forums.
    Nothing worthwhile to mention here, enjoy the animated signature~

    I haven't actually bothered to open any of the blatantly spam threads, but from a quick hovering over one of the topics, it seems related to American sports.

    That kind of spam doesn't even make sense on a forum like this. b:sad

    I guess I should at least be grateful they aren't trying to tell me how to enlarge my non-existent manhood.

    Bump for Shelly.

    That would be good and bad xD.

    Good because at least the sites won't be account-phishing/keyloggers, and bad because it's still spam and it would make more non-bronies hate bronies even more.

    Is it bad that I don't even know who the teams are, let alone what sport they're spamming about?
