Loving the spam

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Hmmm. I posted in the Toys forum and the entire thread is gone.
"But the Costa story featuring Starscream? Fantastic! This guy is "The One", I just know it, just from these few pages. "--Yaya, who is never wrong.

The mods thought they could get away with killing your thread. "What? I thought it was all spam."

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Ugh I just finished cleaning up dozens of spam threads and it got messed up again.

I like the one about a particular type of magic - Gardening Flowers!!

Also, would anybody anywhere ever be persuaded to buy pills from somewhere whose advert is a picture of a person made entirely of pills being spoonfed pills?

Ok I think I managed to get all the spam removed and fiddled with the admin controls to cut down on future spam.

I think you need to fiddle a bit more.

As the actress said to the bishop.

ok - for time being all new users require admin approval. Which means my hotmail will suffer but better than the board.

Example:

New user: Yaya

NOT APPROVED
