Spambots...

Post by Ashen » Fri Nov 22, 2013 7:53 pm

Whats with the unusually high amount of spambots posting shite here the past few days? I spent a good deal of this morning deleting shite posts and banning IP's. :/

Any way to curb this or to drop off their radar? I know over at ModRetro they just banned the entire IP range of China.

Anyway, just wondering.
