My return and ... filthy Spambots!

#1
Yep, as you may have noticed I actually returned after several months of timeout. I'm not going to explain the whole disaster in-depth however I thought I might as well
tell you what my life consisted of.
As I told some of you, I had to spend lots and lots of time at the hospital due to 2 mostly non-working kidneys. Dialysis was a daily grind for quite a while.
However, at some point my body decided that both kidneys are just no good anymore. So I ended up being stuck at those machines almost permanently.
I desperately needed a new kidney, but the waiting list is long as you can imagine. However, my own boyfriend came to my rescue when my conditioned further
deteriorated. To make a long story short... I now got a new kidney and finally the ability to live a relatively normal everyday life :)

Thanks to that I can finally traumatize you with some fresh SCP/Slender Porn among other pleasant things. :106:


Also....as the title suggests I really felt the need to address those absolutely horrid things spamming the forums.
Is there any way of making the sign-up process more difficult for them? Like those hard to read images with letters, numbers or simple questions.

If that's not possible either, how about giving 1-2 members the ability to ban/delete posts and/or bots? I realize that it's not possible for Steel and such to be around all the time,
hence me thinking that you really need a solution. I kept an eye on it for a while now and it's getting worse.

I dont think we have met. I'm glad youre okay now though, it seems you've been through a lot lately.

With the Bots, yeah, we are basically at war with them at the moment. There has been talks about a required question for signing up, i'm not sure whats happening about it at the moment. I dont think we need any more people with Admin powers though, Glitch, Sparks and Irontaco seem to be around fairly often.

Nope, I don't think we've met either :) Many people I see at the moment signed up just around the time I got permanently stuck at the hospital.
But nice to meet you and thanks for the sympathy ;)

As for the bots, yeah I've noticed the War as of late. And I can imagine the Mods being really annoyed by it now. I really hope that the Sign-Up procedure will be changed,
because as time goes by those things get just ridiculous.
