hello admins, i have a complaint to make about some members on this forum. basically we have bot accounts continually posting in our forums with posts of viagra, porn and sex sites, spyware posts and so on. i personally am really dissapointed that morons in this world think that this kind of publicity improves their business, if anything it agrovates the readers of that post and in turn threads like this are made.

this is a perfect example of how far out of control the situation has become, 4 posts in a row of 2 spammer bots posting inappropriate material for quite a few members that frequent this forum. this forum i believe is so popular due to the astounding wealth of knowledge that people have and the friendly vibe that you recieve from each and every members willing to take an extra step just to aid you in your problems.
i completly understand that you have a life outside of the forums and that you cant always be present to deal with these spam bots but it would be greatly appreciated and i believe i speak for the whole community of members when i say that they should have their account removed and some form of protection to prevent these bots from returning. maybe a setup where the auto login cookie is only enabled if you set it in UserCP. as default it should be made so you have to type in your password everytime up until such time as this UserCP value is changed. yes this wouldnt stop the account from being generated but it would prevent the frenzy of auto posting as the bot wont know how to get into UserCP.
these are only a few accounts which i believe should be removed due to inappropriate conent :
Nerdikut
Desyathost
Medvediku
GoodNightX
KokainaX
there are more accounts but i cant think of them off the top of my head. to save the administrators the trouble of having to search the forums for the perpetrators i call apon the other members of this forum to post the names of those accounts responsible for spam posting.
thankyou to all that help and aid in the removal and cleanup of our forums.
Cheers, Tony.
