Okay I get it it goes back very far and theres a lot of them

EDIT: who was the one that you had no idea how they got through

OK, I think I am caught up. Thanks again GM.

They must have a way to bypass or get through Captcha.

They are also not flagged when I approve accounts, so they must come from clean IPs and have clean user names.

I could probably just purge all accounts with zero posts, but we might lose a few people that are here just for the mod downloads.

Actually I was going to post that I was going to donate my time to finding the spammers, but it looks like GM has them under control.

I always wondered why so many people where on this site, people that never post, are never in game, and never even on.

Actually Josh I saw SNC has a account but he never posted

No problem, Buckler! I was bored tonight, so I decided to hunt down the spammers.

I should get a Spam Police badge or something.

That would explain how they manage to get through, but the one about free implants really shocked me. I thought for sure it would've been caught.

And yeah, purging all accounts with 0 posts would be bad. I saw a profile that had a full forum signature actually, but no posts. (The guy's name was Millionaire, if you were wondering)

Actually, I kind of stole the idea from Keshen8's Spam Police stop-motions. Look them up on YouTube, they're actually really cool. Though yeah, I wouldn't have a siren, just a mere badge would be good enough.

Even better idea watch the begining cutscenes of Halo 4 and pretend the covies are spammers and the spartans are spam police

Lol Kit, I wouldn't list you down.

I only would if you had a suspicious scamming website in your URL bar, though...
