Are the spammers getting tired or something?

[Vulpis]

Hmm. On a slight tangent...I seem to recall having dropped a link to a group of people I know to one of the articles in the forums here (I forget which one offhand), but I don't think there were enough of them to cause a surge. But they would show up as 'guests', wouldn't they? And, is there a more proper way of making referals like that than linking to the forum thread?

[Bob Schroeck]

Yeah, since you don't have to register to read the forums, they would show up as guests unless they chose to join.

As for "proper"... um, no. A link is basically it.

...

Yeah, no. A new user whose email is "@loliporn.su" is not getting approved. Don't even need to check StopForumSpam on that one.

*snirk* I'm reminded of the amusing results I sometimes see in my spam folder. Though I don't think anything yet has topped the one going on about the 'USLA agreement'...

[classicdrogn]

... what's to rant about about lifeguards? Unless maybe it's not having enough of them at public beaches and pools to cover the demand...

[Vulpis]

*snirk again* Replace 'EU' (Europe) in a document with 'US', and *don't* pay attention to just what it replaces, and see what happens.

[Bob Schroeck]

Yeah, no. A new user whose email is "@loliporn.su" is not getting approved. Don't even need to check StopForumSpam on that one.

A second try isn't going to work, either.
