Since none of you seem to be checking the Mods Only forum, and Haq hasn't responded to the PM I sent him the other day, I'm hoping a post here might get someone's attention.

I've already deleted a crapload of spambots from the memberlist over the past week, but there's just too many now to keep up with anymore. There have already been another 45 who've registered just since yesterday afternoon.

I can't stave off the invading hordes alone. Linc wasn't a one-man Mod Squad, and neither am I.

close registration, do we ever get any real new people?

have some sort of Blade Runner test

Sorry to deflate your mod bubble, Bob, but I too have been deleting spammers. Are you also banning the IP address to those that post?

I think Aaron needs to change the color of grass.

As a tribute to the Cluemaster, it should be Gold... BC Gold.

My breakfast generally consists of toast with marmalade, a cup of tea and deleting loads of spam threads and memberships.

Obner might well be under siege, in fact it may well be looked upon as a 21st century Pavlov's House but did Yakov Pavlov shirk in the face of overwhelming odds? No sir! He did not Sir! He stood firm and he defeated the evil hordes!

So I say, do your worst spammers, give us everything you've got because we might be few, but by Jove!, our backbones are straight, our morale is firm and we'll defend the Motherland until the last breath is expelled, not from our nobly sculpted mouths, but from the enemies desperate lungs hoarse from panicked screams and death throes!

Delete! Delete! Delete! Not one step back and onwards to victory! Crush the enemy! Death to spammers!

I never saw that movie and this made me laugh.

Edit: how about promote a few more mods.

Well there's only about 30 regular posters anyway so we'd wind up with more people on stage than in the audience

Unless there are thousands of lurkers I guess.

seems like the mods lurk more than the audience members

It's surveillance not lurking.
