I guess it's the Phenteremine luring them here

They, at least most of them, had been banned already, just not purged from the system yet. I think that they ae using Mark's birthday to register.

Thanks for keeping an eye open.

Rest assured, many (like this one) have been banned almost immediately. The database simply has not purged them yet. Keep lettijg us know if we miss any.

Yes, sometimes it might seem us Spam Police seem a bit too fond of our jobs, eh?

But better alert you twice than no alert at all, I guess

Good job you're doing!

From PhPbbHacks, I found THIS...

It seems to be what Simon said (:twisted:), especially made for PhP forums.

Maybe people who are more adept in the use of PhP can look at it, I ain't got a clue...

IZ.

Considered this already?

Or is it not do-able or wouldn't it work against these spambots or something?

As Heartland got mentioned on a booklet of the re-releases, this problem will probably grow with the popularity of the forum. May be a good idea to sort it out before General Chat is flooded with Porn&Pill advertisements?

This has already been implemented. It slowed them down for a while, now they're back with a vengeance.

Change the name of the forum and replace all 'The Sisters of Mercy' with 'For Greater Good' in the HL database!
