Angry OMG THE SPAM IS OUT OF CONTROL

FIX IT NOW! :mad::mad::mad:

MIKE!! I know you know how to do this...

SOMEBODY UPDATE IT SO THE REGISTRATION HAS A HUMAN REGOCNITION SYSTEM!!

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!

It really is the only way to stop it... :rolleyes:

Banning them does nothing, the bots register, post a few times and then register a new name.

Letting the spam happen is JUST AS BAD as the spam itself!

WHY NOT? WHAT THE [SNIPPED] IS SO HARD ABOUT UPDATING THE FREAKING FORUM???

I guarantee you Mike could have it done in 30 minutes at the MOST.

I don't know if he's WILLING to, because NOTHING ever gets done around here.

All that happens is the swear filters get tightened, and the spam gets edited.



UPDATE THE FREAKING THING AND FIX THE SPAM, CREATE TF2

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!

I'm sure there are plenty of qualified people on this forum who would help update the site, if given the chance wouldn't that be more prudent course of action for the devs. They obviously have lives and very busy or would have done something by now.

Something like that.

The final decision to upgrade is in the hands of the owner, not the mod team. And it is a monumental decision to make. TF will probably be down for a day or three when it does happen... and it will; the question is when.
