Title: Member count will be going down
Post by: Pete The Greek on August 30, 2015, 08:40:11 PM
I finally decided to take a look at the members that have signed up here in the past.  For some reason, plenty of spammers have signed up lately.  They will be gone just like a baseball at the end of Edwin Encarnacion's bat.

A lot of these spammers have .ru (Russian) emails.  Makes it a lot easier to ban and delete these accounts.

Seem to have had a lot of spammers registering and posting lately. Maybe it's worth considering closing new memberships?

If that option exists, I will gladly use it.  I am so sick and tired of deleting these Russian spam accounts.

Canada has and always will kick your ass in ice hockey, Russians.  Deal with it.

I have found the setting to disable registrations.  I will see if this works for the next dew days.

Disabled registrations again.  Tired of dealing of the Russian troll factory.   Just like your leader, you have tiny dicks.

the Oktober Guard aren't active anymore, too bad because they could take out the spam hackers.

Against my better judgment, I have re-activated registrations. 

I guess I will find out soon if Russian troll factory is still going.

God, you Russians are pathetic with this spam crap.  Still deleting your asses.

Must be automated right? 

I mean I guess someone is at the helm when they do the spamming, but if it was actively watched they probably wouldn't bother with this site due to low numbers.

Honestly I don't see much from them anymore, so that is a testament to you Pete.

My bad. The news headline "Welcome back JoeCanuck" was a reference to the theme returning. I can change it to something more newsworthy...
