All hail the almighty Siretu and Scrypso!

We have descended from heaven to deal with your spam problems. With our great collective intelligence and amazing php skills we smited the sinners and condemned them to the eternal void.

Our devout worshippers have been saved from this fate and brought to a forum where they can live out their life without being bothered by spam.



(So basically, we figured out how to enable the Q&A captcha which means you have to answer CC related questions to register and we also deleted 1016 users, bringing us from 1115 to 99)

Lol, how did you decide who to delete? Post count == 0? Eyeball name for nonsensical entries?

Yea, it was most likely a script that deleted everyone with 0 posts. Even 2 inCC members got deleted, so it was a primitive script, not even excluding clan members :P

Primitive yet effective. Just like a good old slingshot.

Good job for digging out 13 month old threads.
I guess Necromancer is your favorite class in RPGs? ;)
