Cleaning out the spammers - 12-14-2007, 03:39 PM

In case you haven't noticed our members list has grown quite large in recent months. Sadly, the vast majority of those new "members" are spam accounts created when people attempt to spam the boards.

While the mods are able to keep the spam itself off the boards, the users remain in the user list until they are banned or deleted.

Over the course of this weekend we will be cleaning out these user accounts.

This should not effect any of our active users.

If you're interested in how the decision is being made as to which accounts to delete, let me know.

The cleaning of the user list is now complete.

Now that the user list is in good condition, we should be able to better monitor for spam users.
