i'm not...not with the amount of spam bots that have cropped up

Post by **Craitman** » Sun May 27, 2007 2:18 pm

some of the spambots have posted though...
i'm guessing these will be deleted too

Swamp Candle · Post by **Swamp Candle** » Sun May 27, 2007 2:22 pm

maybe their included in the 303 deletions

Post by **dr-spangle** » Sun May 27, 2007 7:12 pm

spambots have not posted as all spam has been deleted, hence lowering their posts to 0 again.

303 is the number of users with 0 posts.

Post by **Craitman** » Mon May 28, 2007 12:19 pm

Post by **dr-spangle** » Mon May 28, 2007 12:36 pm

word filter does everything.

Post by **Craitman** » Mon May 28, 2007 12:43 pm

apart from when Cräiteland is spelt incorrectly

Swamp Candle · Post by **Swamp Candle** » Mon May 28, 2007 12:43 pm

indeed it does although i've never needed to use it

Babs · Post by **Babs** » Mon May 28, 2007 4:22 pm

Can we put that in the filter, it'd certainly stop him moaning, and all nations with capitals, and MCS & other acronyms, and people's names, and basic apostrophe erros ie. do'nt instead of don't
