HA! The recent influx of members are SPAMBOTS masquerading as humans by posting "real" topics. There isn't a single username with TOM in it here (at least since I've been around!), and there's no "unmoderated" section. NUKES AWAY!

Yeah, it seems that there is a whole batch of new users that are harder to discern from fake and real.
I've nailed down a few methods of catching these guys, but it would seem that either the spambots are getting smarter or we're getting more lax.
Then again... since the time of the big hack back in Feb, PGD has really only been moderated by both Dom and I.
Maybe it would help to have a few folks help us out and help keep the forums clean of these guys. Any takers?
IMPORTANT: Please do note that you'll need to be a regular on these forums, or else you won't be very effective in helping to keep the forums in good health.
I would volunteer, but I'm moving in 2 weeks. Sorry.
Well, I'll let you know after the move. I dunno exactly where I'm going, or when I'll have internet access. Or even my computer. Heh. 2nd move in 6 months too! And I ain't even military... :roll:
Excellent. Does he have the ability to nuke the spam accounts too or just the posts?
No worries Robert. Being as you are indeed a regular here, I'm sure things will work it's self out.
I do hope your move goes smoothly though. Being a former military member, believe me, I know what you mean about moving.
Savage has granted me the option to eliminate spam accounts as well as the option to remove posts made by those accounts.
