IP address banning is only good if they are proxies... Otherwise it is that burn method which then leads to banning innocent people (especially like those with AOL, but seriously who uses that anyway).

If someone got banned on a library computer, it means no one at that library would be able to go to PC then.

In that way, email and account banning work best. Then they just set limits like on being able to post links after a certain amount of posts.

We have a completed pokedex, competitive guides, and more projects on the way.

I have not received a PM like this on here,but I have gotten in on Bulbagarden,but this was a while ago and did not know about that at the time,So I didn't report it because i didn't know about the spam PMs on bulbagarden,and I couldn't find a moderator or staff on bulbagarden,and was unable to report it sadly..

I saw the thread here (and bulbagarden) about this about a week after I got the PM and deleted it :(


If I do get a PM like that here,I will report it to a moderator or an Admin.
 
I just got a PM from a bot named DARK SHAYIMIN (now banned) who told me about my "computer security" on [LINK REMOVED FOR SAFETY REASONS] . Of course that the site had a name which contained the word "virus" so I didn't touch it .

That's what happens when you're in the 1st members of the list ... -_-'
 
I got spambot PMs from two users called "qbone" and "WHISBII"
 
The last time I saw a SPAM link was about 2-3 years ago when a SPAMBOT used to spam the newest members. I took a look through my anti-virus software, there were hundreds on that site.
 
I got about 4 of those when I logged on today... the person sending them had already been banned, though (thank god).

I did not get rid of the links, just look if they're suspicious.
 
I got a spam from someone called Vindel.

Weird. Hikari was a member on a much older forum (now defunct) called Tech Links (a Code Lyoko fan forum), and if I remember well enough, she trolled at every possible chance she could get. When the admins told her to stop, she squealed to the people who owned CL's licensing rights and had the site shut down.

I recieved one from a user called revengex or something along the lines of that. Deleted it the moment I read the message.
 
Well, if we think about what happened before, TPC may shut PC down. Luckily, it's not Nintendo and they're more likely to keep this alive, they even wanted to make an online game, but Nintendo shut THAT down for infringing on their own rights.

Well, it certainly didn't help that TL was circulating some episodes of Code Lyoko without reimbursing Moonscoop, the copyright holders. I think that's what did them in.
 
Also, just a notice, if you report a PM via the report button, please don't delete the PM for a day or so, because deleting the PM deletes your report as well. Thanks.
