As I mentioned in the Mega Man thread, "@Tasuki That's sadly an active part of the internet. More Site Publicity=More Spammers"

Yeah I hate all that spamming lately. Makes me mad because they haven't tried a REAL product yet. Ever get tired of those so called "real" body oils that just don't give your abs the shine they deserve? Then you need to try Who Da Boss? ab oil from Tony Danza! Made from real sweat off Tony Danza's pecs and abs, mixed with bacon grease, nothing can stand in the way of those glorious abs getting the shine they deserve! It is scientifically proven that pungent man sweat of Tony Danza can eradicate any dirt and grime from any surface. Order yours today!

guys, it's just a fad. a couple years ago it was e-mail addresses ending in @.pl, that was a huge spam fad, then last year inserting links into forum profiles/signatures and not posting anything was all the rage (on sites that had public profiles, like ours, it would result in more google hits for their crap). right now, apparently they're getting aggressive and as soon as they sign up they pound the main site with comments. It happens.

I've made some suggestions to Ant, we had a fix in place a couple days ago but then they changed things up so that our fix no longer works. it's okay, we'll work something out to take out these jerks before they bother anyone, but in the meantime, we very much appreciate not only your patience but your understanding as it may take us a bit to get back to our computers and delete the comments in question.

by the way — in cases of this, where one obvious spammer has posted multiple comments, just report ONE of them and move on, please. we have ways of finding the rest of their posted content and we will delete it as soon as we can. we greatly appreciate you bloodhounds who report every single piece of spam a bot has ever posted, but multiply that by four or five and i'm sure you can imagine the mess we have to wade through in our inboxes. :3

Hmm. Google's ReCAPTCHA works pretty well for most sites. If anything, wouldn't it be a bit of a road block for them?

The only thing I want from Tony Danza is for him to hold me closer, like in that one Elton John song.

Also because CAPTCHA is the worst.

OK, I'm curious - do you guys have a "nuke" button where it'll delete a user and all of its posts and permaban that email address with a single click?

Was that a confession?

This is a signature.
I mentioned signatures, which makes this a meta-signature,
A meta-signature mentioning meta-signatures is a meta-meta-signature.
Hence, this signature is infinitely meta. Does Meta-Knight have a self-awareness of his own name?

@pix: while that would make dealing with these guys in particular much easier, i'm afraid not. :3

@Jaz007: if you've only noticed one, thank your lucky stars — over the past week we've banned more than a few of these jerks. it's only started happening recently. :3
