SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Its another Spammer on the forum.

Is it just my imagination, or have we gotten a bumper crop of these since the beginning of our last anti-lawncrapper round.

Er, why aren't you just using the report button? You know, the "!". I report 'em when I see 'em, they drop out of sight fast thanks to our diligent admins, no threads to clutter my list of unread topics.

Because I'm drunk?

Truthful smart-assery aside, point taken. I'll use the "!" button.

I think more spammers are getting through now because the image verification thing was disabled a while back. I could be wrong though.

There are two possible reasons:

1. They programmed new bots to counter the new registration requirement I added - in which case, I just changed it.

2. They are simply humans who spend their time registering and spamming sites like this, possibly for extra cash. In which case, there is nothing we can do until they spam.
