Update on Spam Countermeasures
Today we're testing out auto banning of multiple account registrations. What this means for you, the legit user is really nothing. You shouldn't see a change. What it means for the spammers is that once we ban a spammer, if they go back and create another account, that account will automatically be banned upon creation. This takes the workload of banning spammers off of the mods and takes a preemptive approach rather than a reactive. The potential issue here is that if you the normal user creates a new account, that account may get automatically banned as well. The good news is that all of the mods have access to a forum here that shows every multiple account detection and have been instructed to keep an eye out in case a legit user gets caught by it.
Among the mods, we ban anywhere from 20-50+ spammers a day. Nearly all of these accounts are banned before they're able to post. We don't like spam, we don't want you guys to see spam. If you do, I apologize, it's slipped through the cracks and sadly, even despite all of our efforts, it will happen. Just report it, or contact me or another one of the mods. Like Khatovar said, one of us is "on duty" nearly 24/7. That's why we've picked the mods we have. (Thankfully the days of me solo modding the site are gone :_D)
