I just went on a mass slaughter of spambots, and I've now imposed a restriction where all new accounts must enter a queue to be administrator approved.
Hopefully this will contain the crisis. Remember to keep reporting all topics. Thank you for the great work the mods have done, and thank you all for your cooperation and patience.

If there are, report them. I've actually confirmed that I can allow (and refuse) registering of spam bots through Administrator capabilities, so I'd say it's working.

Just for you, I'm half considering letting a spam bot pass through for the hell of it.
(jk. though, there are a HELL of a lot that the system is now blocking, literally in the hundreds).

Hope you enjoyed you fun, being a mod is going to as boring as it was before the epidemic.

So what is this? I thought they wouldn't be able to get in anymore.
