You have been spammed

Post by george3519 »

Hi there!

Your forum is wide open to automatic registrations and postings. Spammers can use it to spread their junk automatically, just like we did to send you this message.

Actually, I thought that was rather nice of them. Fixing this *might* help reduce the spam we've been receiving from Mother Russia.

what kind of fucking self-aggrandizing faggot nerd makes a spambot that automatically seeks out forums and registers there to warn the people about spambots

"the INTERNET needs my help! too many peoples LIVES have been BROKEN by FORUM SPAMBOTS! I MUST GET TO WORK"

"ralph honey come get your dinner"

"but MOOOMMM THE INTERNET NEEDS MY HELP!"

"why couldn't you have been gay or something"

The spam we get is usually more funny than annoying anyway. I've bookmarked the link, though, and they look like good suggestions.
