You've probably noticed we're being randomly attacked by a persistent, if unoriginal, spammer. Penguinboy has just upgraded our antispam measures, they should make short work of him for now, and he's got some more advanced tools in the works.
As an extra measure we've promoted The Mighty Atom to admin, which he definitely deserves!
If you notice anything when we're not around, PM Atom, Grim, Penguinboy or myself, we'll take care of it when we can.
EDIT - The competition is over! -- Grim
Well done on admin anyway Atom!
And yay anti-spam measures!
How's that?
Thanks Penguin/Strider. ^^
Just noticed those spam accounts are still there. Why are'nt they deleted yet?
Edit: Also don't forget that some of the admins still lurk in IRC a bit and depending on time of day, people can let them know of spam that way too.
Hopefully this moron will give up soon.
It's not exactly easy to ignore him though.
Unless he's automated it somehow, I don't know much about that.
"Just noticed those spam accounts are still there. Why are'nt they deleted yet?"
Which ones? Actually, tell us in the admin thread. Penguinboy's been doing some user testing with his new tools.
"Also don't forget that some of the admins still lurk in IRC a bit and depending on time of day, people can let them know of spam that way too."
Yep, kraken told us of this last attack on IRC. Gold star sticker for kraken!
hacked?
I couldn't resist.
