Its not as if it helps them get deleted or moved any faster...and it doesn't really help ban the spammer faster - the best way to deal with this would be to bother one of the admins over some sorta instant messenger..

Or to flood their PM boxes with a thousand PMs...

I think the forums filter is either to old to work good anymore, or it is broken :(

Admins must rise themselves to this, and heed the signs! A great storm is about to break, and it shall reign a thousand spam-bots across the forums!

I'm not sure if those bots check if people responded - but I'm sure they check if people click on the links.

The mail system we have for restoring FN characters has been rendered all but useless by spam bots. (Plus some of the spam is slipping by the mail rules, and winding up in my inbox instead of the FN folder, which gives me half a mind to remove the mail account entirely).

Those links don't pose a threat :p

If you think thats bad, you should see the catch-all account for the domain. It was getting several hundred emails a day for a while, mostly bounce back emails. Looks like someone was spoofing my email accounts.

Hahah, so some little pricks don't like you Kuro (probably Acehigh or Kokris, most likely Kokris...) :p

You're too awesome for anybody other than Kokris to dislike :)
