post links to the new deadpool movie, then if you are retarded enough to click the link your pc gets infected with spambots/viruses etc.

all of the new users on 1st march were russian/ukranian spam IP's :smt015

I don't know what's happened but the spam bot has gone crazy!!!

Admin/moderates can anything be done to stop this? Especially the ones about those bloody essays

Thanks for maintaining the forum guys, good luck in the Spam Wars

right from now I have 171 users awaiting activation, I have installed a mod that checks all users, registrations and posts with the world spam database and blocks them if they are on there.

hopefully genuine users can still post lol

I will do when I get home tonight, but if they try and post now their id and posts will be checked and blocked, fingers crossed this should stop NOW!
