In regards to the spam...

[Kyogre-chan]

I'm sure everyone's well aware that the community is currently ridiculed by… very immature, racist spammers. I'd advise you to report their threads and ignore them altogether until they are dealt with. Hopefully, they'll realise that they're wasting their time.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Lust]

Ok, sorry for posting in some of them. I'll try to report most of them.

[Kyogre-chan]

That's alright, but just try not to, as it makes it seem like we care. Which we don't. *hint*

[Shiney]

Here here. *is sending reports now* I typically try to avoid those threads, even reporting them, but this is a special case.

[Thomas-san]

I think we should not report anymore of this spammers thread...unless they are not in the new member forum. That is a good idea not to post in the spammers threads..

[PikaPal]

I noticed the threads too, and as much as Id love to post mean things about those ppl, I held it back...I hope they get banned sooner.

[Kyogre-chan]

coolmaster: You should avoid making those kind of comments too, that's only encouraging them.

Oh, sorry.

[Kyogre-chan]

Not a problem. Also, try not to break the 25-character and four-word limits. ^_^;

[Eon-Rider]

Sorry again. I deleted my other post so people cant see it.

[Lion Heart]

Did we get hit by the fellas from Smogon?

They make fake accounts and come in annoying us.

[Eon-Rider]

What's Smogon? I've never heard of what that is.

[Lion Heart]

I am nearly positive we've been hit by Smogon.

Smogon is a Netbattle site, but some of the people there like to make fake accounts here and spam.

The admins will know aboutthem.

[Kylie-chan]

*sighs* Well, they're stopped - at least for the meantime - @_@ and all is well at PC~ ><

[Tsukasa]

WOW tonight is crazy with spammers and what not! it must be a spammy holiday

[Ryoutarou]

Okay, they've all been banned and the threads deleted.

[Lion Heart]

They are only stopped until they have to avoid the bans again.

I don't know what it is you people do, but I remember chaos saying it takes them a little while to get around the bans, a while ago he wanted to do something like this but was too lazy.

[Rukario]

we set moderated signup for a while.. they won't be back on.

[Kylie-chan]

Ah, okay. Well a higher staff had better stay on to let the safe ones through =X

[Lion Heart]

They will be back on when you take it off though.

They won't stop.

[Asura Nirosuki]

Wow it must be tough to be an Moderator.[Good luck^^].

[Lucien Lachance]

They will be back on when you take it off though.

They won't stop.
If they come back and do it again, the penalty will be higher for them, and so, if they continue to SPAM or brake the rules, it will eventually lead to a perm ban, so they either learn their lesson, or dont come back at all.

Ill report if I ever see one, so far I have tried my best to avoid them, but still reporting doesnt mean posting in the thread now does it.

[Lion Heart]

Incorrect.

You can NOT permanently ban chaos OR jshadias, both of them can get around it.

I think they were already on a permament ban, which means they obviously got around it to do this, that's if it IS them, which I'm thinking it IS.

[Kylie-chan]

Well, Shannon, everytime they come back, ban ban for them ;P

[Kyogre-chan]

Exactly right, and we'll keep banning them until they get the message. We're not afraid of them, all they're doing is wasting their time, and giving members an impression that would make 'em think twice before joining their forum.

[Kylie-chan]

They're a waste of our time, we don't need them around -_-

So if you see them, report them ASAP please ^_~

[Kyogre-chan]

Um… *points to first post in the thread* I already said that, Ky. o.o;

[Lust]

I hope they don't come back. Why does Smogon have to do this?

[Kylie-chan]

Sorry, Kylie hash a bad problem w/ remembering, I should pay attention more ^^;

[Kyogre-chan]

Because they don't have anything better to do with their time but do something that gets them nowhere, seeing as it gets deleted anyway.

[ravenstorture]

OK, I think people get the message. Shouldn't this be closed now?

[Kyogre-chan]

If one of the higher staff feels it should be closed, then they'll close it. ^_^;

[Mr Cat Dog]

Yeah, I'll go ahead and close this now ^_^

Case closed
