Hello everyone,

In the past few days, some "members" have joined yet have been posting Pornography on the forums. It is highly suspected that these are just bots used to advertise Porn. That is why for your safety, we ask you that you add a location to your Profile. Also, put a real name. It can be anything as well, but just don't repeat your username/screenname twice. It could be anything, it doesn't have to be a country, city, or town, John Smith, superman, "haithar" or even leave it blank, just anything besides your screen/user name repeated twice. These Bots are Identifiable by the fact that their location and real names are their screen name repeated twice. I have been working on solving this problem but I have been busy as of late and have had little time to tackle the problem head on. I ask that you have patience while I try to solve the matter. If any of you should come across such thing, report it to Me, Haze, or any of the moderating staff (although Haze or I more specifically). Posting inappropriate material on the forums is an offense and in times like these, an immediate ban and deletion of account will take place. No exceptions. I ask you for you co-operation and patience as we try to rid the forums of such vile behavior.

So, to help us identify between real members and these bots, here is a list of what each existing member and each new member should have:
-a location
-a real name that isn't their screen name repeated twice
-an avatar

Just a few tips for you to make your membership here more enjoyable. Haze and I will work out something to deal with the problem, rest assured.

Thank you,

Superduperlad

I really don't know. I've been trying to keep most of them away. Haze will know for sure how to do it. I'm just trying to help, but I don't have the tech know-how that Haze does.

.cn stands for China.
and there is no way to block them, because .cn is the country's email domain. and the addresses are all unique, not like hotmail or gmail. but one could be "@green.cn" and another could be "@red.cn". All the ones resisted here are all different, but I'll see what I can do.
