I thought the first ten posts from new members had to be moderated? If so, how are these spambots getting their #1 posts approved?

3 posts actually, but that is for legitimate posters. spammers can just post at will. aside from that, can I get a price break if you put the pills in the bag?

this folder is not hidden, if you were to not sign in, this and one other folder is visible in this section. but since i have been on a spam crusade all day, I have been checking out most of the newely registered people and have found that even with no posts showing they for some reason got this section showing as their most used section on the site, how does that happen i wonder.

if you were to click on the newest member name on the front page, you would see they are using this folder as a "most active folder" the one that is on there right now as the newest member is a spammer with one post showing in his profile. in russian no less so i expect to see more spam sooner than later.

ya know we understand we are not a priority for the website

but it sure would be nice if they could deputize a few of the old regulars here to moderate some of this trash in the forums. It's bad enough when every article on the site gets the first post of amazing site make you much happiness and fond memory of childhood for sneakers
this shit dont even need to be made up I actually read that!

but alas, we are doomed
DOOMED
muwahahahahaahah
now back to your regularly scheduled slacking off on Saturday

What are you talking about bro? There's plenty of moderators for the amount of traffic that hits this site.s

There are at a minimum, three of us here every day bro. That's twice the amount of users the place gets. :P
