| I've noticed lately that people have used specifically the "How-To" section to post advertisements for things like dating, drugs, and porn. I find tis a disgrace to the forums. I don't know how, but their should be a small qeustion page to see if they are sincere about spudgunning when they register. |

If it does happen, rest assured that the mods will be on it in no time.
If there's a problem, PM me, or IM me with a link to the topic whether i'm away or not and I'll be sure to get it fixed. Same goes for other mods. |

| i thought that the part of the regestration process where you type in the code thats weird looking was to keep spam bots from being able to regester. |

lol yeah guys, it's spam.
However they are not bots. They are piss poor people paid in various foregin countries a quarter an hour to register for forums like mine and post stuff like that. A few of them have even posted "somewhat spud-related" posts, then turn around a post a list in off-topic about why it's good to be a man, and the periods are links to spam sites.
I don't turn on the random registration code becuase it tends to prevent AOL members from registering because AOL proxies like to cache that image even when their not supposed to. I do however have very spudfiles-specific hidden fields in the register page, so a bot can't fill it out and register automatically... they will get an error.
There isn't much I can do about it aside from delete them as soon as their found, and ban them in a few different ways. It should supress soon enough. |
