As no doubt many of you have observed, there's been spambots everywhere over the past week or so. I am deleting the offending posts when they are reported, but new spam users keep appearing.
It appears that they've managed to get around the security question I set a while ago, so I've changed that and it seems there are no more spambots registering. However there's quite a few accounts that were created before the question change over the past month or so that are being activated now and being used to post spam. There's not a lot I can do about that except ban them as they pop up and wait for them to run out of accounts.
Please keep reporting the spam as it appears. Also, please stop responding to it if it's in another thread. Amusing as it may seem at the time, once the spam messages are deleted it just derails the thread. Keep calm, report the spam, and carry on.

yeah, the novelty wore off after about the first one really.

Gunner! One spambot moderator round. Fire!

There's a report button guys, the little triangle with the exclamation mark inside it in the lower left corner.
