I wonder if the homepage HERE might be in breach of regulations? :?

How about disabling all profile attributes until level x? Just a thought...

[EDIT]

Should have read the other thread first :)

This user admitted in this post that he was this, separate user and had intentionally attempted to fool us, as evidenced by this unaltered quote.

If I am correct, this is in direct violation of the FAQ and should warrant at least a warning from an administrator (I know, I am one to talk, but still...).

As his old account was disabled, I think we're aware of this.

These two accounts (Alberttox2 and alberttox3) also violate this rule in the FAQ because their emails (When I see their profile) are the same. However, neither of those accounts are disabled (Though their Rank Points are quite low).

I'll put this here rather than starting a new thread.

When I go to the last page of The Inevitable Patch, a popup window appears which says "Connecting to it.uib.no". It expects me to enter a username and password.

What IS this?

I didn't get a popup, but just to make sure others don't I changed the images in trick's signature to one hosted here. A different one, but I don't have his images.

Man, for a few months there we actually had a break. And then someone came along and decided that their message was so important that it had to be posted even without working links.

zxcvboy has been doing nearly nothing but spam through bumping old forum games with pointless and irrelevant content trash.

Honestly, I don't think he's an intentional spammer, since he's tried to contribute levels to the Crystal Shards forum. He's just an incredibly ignorant poster.

On a related note I have never seen someone lose all their starting cache of rank points. I kind of wish the Rank Points counter to the left showed negative scores.

That's because you registered "Aug. 02, 2010", and the last post here is September 2009.

I discovered that there are lots of excellent but underrated holds because someone rated them badly.
Some great architects are spending their precious time hardly and painfully working on them for free and
yet they don’t get praise.
Is it because of envies among some architects or maybe because of differences between
experienced/talented players and not so good ones or perhaps there are just some evil members who
intentionally rate them that way?
Can anyone cure that, I often ask myself. I wonder what you think about that issue. :unsure

There is a new user named freegames who hasn't spammed us yet.

But I would not be surprised if he, she, or it did.

I asked he/she/it ti prove that it wasn't a spambot, but I realize now that it could be an actually person spamming us. Didn't think of that until you said so. I feel sheepish! :blush
EDITION: How strange... I corrected a spelling mistake right after hitting "send" and it sent the message twice! (Other message deleted)

What about this user?

Two necros in as many posts; first seems to be spam and the second like a feeble attempt at getting modded up(?) to get past the 12-point rule...

np: Wagon Christ - Step To The Music (Musipal)

I see what you mean. But the first post was on-topic, so it might not have been spam.

If it is a computer, we are well on our way to making constructive spambots! The horror, we are all going to be out dated!

His avatar is a Microsoft product advertisement. I went to the site, and although it seemed legit, I would not have trusted them with any of my information. Or money.

I concur with the ban assessment, especially if leads to post deletion.

Maybe someone should give this spambot a rank point for posting such a nice list of movies.
