these are spambots not actual people, we've ask admin many times to install an E Mail confirmation to the registration process. which would mean fanmail.biz would send an e mail to whoever was applying then they would have to respond. but he wont do it.

plus the fact the forum takes so long to load, it takes forever to delete them.

I see. Thank you for your response. It seems admin really should be doing more to combat it.

the IP ban should do wonders as well as email confirmation.

i bet a lot of the spamming is taking up a lot of bandwidth which also slows the site down for everyone :roll:

Admin and the global moderators are the only ones that can issue bans, and loveryan is the only GM left I think
