Yeah, he hadn't done anything when I was on earlier. Since we really don't have a rule about not taking such names, I didn't really see a good reason to ban just based on name..... even though I knew they would at some point. RazzorrMan is toast now too.

Need to add in some simple math question on the registration page and that will stop the spam. Bots out there are creating accounts here and sending out PMs to everybody.

Thx Mike! Good idea.

That's what I did on the photog forum that you're familiar with

You misunderstood me. Not ban, but block those names from being registerable by non-staff. That way when users get PM's, they won't mistakenly click on the link and get a virus or suckered in to a scam.

Ciao,

@JohnC I agree!

I was waiting until that Bot spammed me and then took action. I'm pretty sure that a proactive measure will be implemented soon by Howard. Cheers.

Wow, what a massive wave.

[Freddy Flash]

Yeah that one was a bit excessive. Thank you very much for the report sir

[chimphappyhour]

Wow! That was quite the hit. I see they're from Zimbabwe. I think they're just jealous because I'm a multi-trillionaire in their country and they are.

Wow! This is really funny. I had to quote this before I banned you for being a spammer that does the copy and paste/answering posts you have no idea what they're about.
