Guys, I am sure you've noticed the vast number of spammers who have visited the forum recently. Obvioiusly it is only a minor problem, but doubled with the annoyances of Rainbow Stephanie, Spenzzcer, etc, I think it is quite a loss to the forum on our part as mods.
So from here, a few options.
a) Do absolutely nothing - What we are pretty much doing now, save for the deleting of threads and such.
b) Improve Moderator Capabilities - because If I'm the only person on and he get hit by hordes of spam, there is basically nothing I can do, other than deleting threads. Though I'm unsure of how much can be done in this area.
c) Prevent users from registering multiple accounts - I suggested this to Xizer already, and I don't see the harm it could do. Offenders could be punished with a suspension or ban or what-have-you.
d) Make GetLazy exclusive - Now I know the admins' viewpoint in this area and I agree with them and would never want such a thing to happen. But this last resort may become necessary if the problem continues.
I might come across here as very pedantic, but this is a problem that we all should address.
Also, I think it is our responsible duty to deal with Rainbow Stephanie. We could easily have him banned on multiple charges of flaming.
