This is good news, I hope this took affect after the two new robot spammers we got this morning.

Thank you for working on this, Mark. It looks like these spammers are not going to be stopped by settings, though. We have two new ones with more than thirty posts between them since you posted this.

Is this the most current version of the forum software?

BTW, I wanted people to know that the best way to flag me down right away is to PM me. I get a notice straight to my phone if I get a PM here. I want to say I'd get to an issue within an hour but at least within 12 hours (in case I'm buried at work).

ZOMG! ALL THE SPAM ALL THE TIME. Dude, I just deleted/banned 75 spam accounts from 5 or 10 different IPs. I'm thinking about just deleting them outright period if they don't answer the question or bother to post in the new users forum.

So please explain the new system...

Red names are professionals and/or moderators?

Green names are sponsors?

What else?

Dark red: pros/mods/uber mods.
Light Red: Sean
Gold/green: sponsors.

Avatars are limited to 200 x 200. If you look at Mark's, his av is the definition of this size.

Apply for a grant.

Say you want to prove once and for all that stuff people wrote down previously is indisputable.

Then, accidently discover that the sun rises each morning and setts each evening!!

Hilarity ensues.
