Spambot Alert

Spambot going by the username of "alleeenp" going apeshit on the forums posting random bullshit threads about some car blowing up. No mods about this so I guess we're going have to standby as the thing trashes the forums. Like, I'd get to work but I lost my mop...

Excuse me, but that spambot is long gone now, we deleted it before you even started the thread.

We won't let anything go 'apeshit' in the forum, we delete spambots and their threads very quickly, and, if there are no moderators online, as soon as one gets logged in it will. (We have stuff to do outside, yus yus.)

Look at the total member count now. Steelpoint took the time to delete any bot accounts that haven't posted anything so far. Basically bots were creating like 40 accounts per day in this forum.

As I mentioned earlier I deleted over 1800 spambot accounts, mainly to put the final touch on the new security measures.

Reviving old threads is not always against the rule!

Also has anyone else seen an spam threads? If not than I did my job.
