Re: [ATTENTION] Fake Private Message from Admins Reply #1 – February 08, 2010, 03:20:42 am more info, copy/paste from another thread:The user was real, and has been banned. Also, "forum" and "team" are disallowed from usernames. Personal messages are a little more restricted than previous.Also, I normally look at new users who sign up; I hadn't caught up on emails before this happened; but I will continue to monitor them (while catching up, I caught a spammer who hadn't posted yet thankfully).

Re: [ATTENTION] Fake Private Message from Admins Reply #3 – February 11, 2010, 09:52:45 pm The problem with customizing the forum software is that the customizations go away after each upgrade. However, we are probably about to implement a system that should get us to near 100% spammer-free status. Quote Selected
