yeah it is part of my job. I'm kinda pissed that I can't post hilarious youtube videos though. I'm also looking for a new bass amp.

the spam moderation is out of control. you guys have no idea how much crap there constantly is in the moderation queue--even after deleting all accounts by specific ip's and purging/banning users from entire domains. this is the way it's gonna have to be for at least a month--until it seems that we've killed off as many malicious accounts as possible. after that, i'll put things back and just rely on the registration mods to at least filter bots out.

sorry. but as atsonic points out--there are ways to make due. i know it's inconvenient, but it's only temporary.

Hey Chris, I work as a SEO specialist/web developer. Have you considered putting nofollow tags on all the outbound links? I really dig dofollow, but this site is a pagerank 6 and a prime target for spammers and malicious link sellers. This should largely cut down on the amount of spam since the reason they sign up is to obtain a backlink.

I have never actually come across a sever / db error/fail to load while using SYG..

Do you really need that extra .0000004 of a second less loading time?


really.....?

it's not about loading time. it's about posts being moderated. and it's not even about MY OWN posts. there's a much easier way around it than the voodoo adam suggested.

it's about the 20 fucking people a day asking "OH NO WHY ARE MY POSTS GONES?!?!"

then again, I'm more inclined to try to help people than to tell them to twat off.

I'm getting pretty close to the twat off point though.

[EVOLghost]

OH NOES!
