Hi all,
Dark, do not ban me for this!
I've never seen so many spambots on the user list in my intire life! Here is the list I have gotten on to my clipboard:

There may be more I don't know. I am not looking through 7580 users just to find some more!

What was the point of this? We know there are users in the user list that were spambots, so long as they're not posting again it doesn't matter too much.

I've previously suggested various methods of clearing them out for the sake of tidiness and freeing up possible user names but Richard and Sander are nervous of catching genuine users by accident and have made it clear there will be no deletions, period.

Relax you will not be banned for this topic alone.

There is no need to talk with exclamation points! I know I am now! That's to show you how ridiculous it sounds! I hope you got it! Good!

Spam bots are in this forum buddy, your not telling any of us things we don't already know.

Hi,
There are already plenty of spambots on this forum that we already know of, but thanks for trying to help. smile

Hi there,
Thanks for your confidence. Its greatful to me and all of us for me to be alerting you all of this.

Ethin you alerted us of nothing. Telling us that spambots are on this forum isn't any more use than telling someone their cat's tray has crap in it, in fact it's even less use than that. Now this isn't a warning but please don't do this again. It really isn't useful and all it does is clog up the forum.
