    Default Spam

    For some unknown reason we have had 500 new users sign up to the forums in the last 2 weeks, most accounts are purly to spam the the forums with random crap, so i have made a spam section.

    All spam will be moved to the spam section. I would normally just delete the accounts which i thought were made from spamming, but due to the high number of accounts i am unable to tell which accounts are real accounts and which accounts are spam accounts.

    I will change the account sign up section to hopefully catch the spaming accounts.

    cud temporarily put a announcement in game saying if you sign up for a forum account include the word REAL at the start (or something similar) any account without that will not be activated. gives u time to work on solution

    yeah we had a small forum for a poker group in our town, about 20 ppl knew about it, we had 5,000 registered users lol -_-
    in the end basically made everyone limited mods and only ppl who had mod power cud access the forum section with any relevant stuff on it... however thats not much use to you with so many users =/
