I thought to increase moderating, since that retarded incident of spamming today, perhaps having an "Admin Approving" email sent to an admin? I've seen them around on other forums where you reigster and a mail is sent to someone who approves of the username.

This way, we may not get spammers joining a billion times and posting general crap. Just a thought, since there are about 20 users joining a day and not posting a thing. Looking down the memberlist, the majority of users have 0 posts.

Okay, since I'm not going to try to join again to find out what you mean, would you mind explaining (or letting Frost explain), Krisp?

Pretty much what Kryten said. An admin has to activate their account before they can post. This stopped the morons who were planning to re-join again tonight and spam the hell out of the place again.

Did yall already ban thier IP adresses? That'll just stop today's problem, but a mod block would be great idea. Also Is there gona be like a system wipe, where we all have to make new accounts?

Of course their IP addresses were banned. :roll:

Banning IPs aren't really going to do as much as you think. Proxies exist, as well as dynamic IPs. (If you don't know what I'm going on about, google it.)

Mod block?
