Was i the only one that went on today and was like "oh my god!! NICE JOB ADMINS AND MODS!!" thank you guys for clearing out a lot of spam. just one thing to say to all the mods reading this: people yell and scream at you, call you party pooper's-among swears- but deep down, we all love you guys, for clearing out the spam, and for making AG safe.

Does this mean no more captcha? Because I'm considering burning myself alive over it. MY TIME IS VALUABLE, TYVM.

My guess would be no. Maybe if the spam bots are gone for awhile they will get rid of it.

The dirty little buggers are back. Oh well, life moves on after handing you lemons. Still, Captcha removal was great.

Do the admins ban spammers if they get out of hand? Cuz there are lots of threads that are posted by 2 users so banning them could work


Yes they do, but it's very easy to change your IP address, since a perma ban entails an IP ban.

I found the reason why the spam has been removed or reduced significantly. In the "Captcha's failing?" thread, theschles (an admin) made this post:

[quote=theschles]Hi all,

We've been trying to get rid of the spam. Obviously, the spambots got around the Captcha. I just pushed some new code to the site to hopefully slow down the spammers.
