Sorry was busy all morning. Normally I spend the beginning of most weekdays zapping spammers with my magic powers. Not sure why we've had so many of them lately, but I'd say it's not been uncommon to delete up to a dozen spam accounts in a day for the last few weeks. Maddening, really.
Wowzers. Thank you for using your magic powers, it's appreciated. Part of this post's intent is to brain storm an acceptable way to take care of the issue easier so an individual doesn't have to hunker down and grind through deletions/spam tags or the like to prevent said madness. May well not be a viable option with the sites structure, but worth the shot, I'd think.
Presumably not. Didn't have to for Ay-Nawn or kantos. In fact, both accounts are tied to the same email. Pretty sure Ay-Nawn had to be inactivated first for that to happen, though.Did hubski ever implement an email verification check? I think when I created my account it didn't have one.
I don't think it can deter bots. One can create a single gmail account shared by all bots and then when registering do this: myspamaccount+bot1@gmail.com myspamaccount+bot2@gmail.com ... All those emails will get redirected to the single account myspamaccount@gmail.com
It's almost done, the only I'm still seeing in global is this one.
