If the problem is just registering your name that has already been taken by someone else who hasn't posted, can't you just contact MarkG, Ming, rah, or DanQ and ask to take the name from the other person?

I know of one instance where this has happened...but I can't recall the person.

In theori it might work, but how many newbies knows exactly who to contact, before they register?

Well then the last 3 posts are going to be pretty hard to understand.

It makes the threads in this forum load much faster when our spam has been removed. All I need to do is add Skanky, Jamski and BC onto the list to complete the set.

Interesting pick of names there FP, I did a quick tally of the number of posts by people in the last 15 threads to be posted in and I've cut off anyone who hasn't got at least 10 posts.

Spike and alva seem to be runaway champs at the spamming.

alva		55
DrSpike		41
Ming		32
Skanky Burns	31	
Harry Seldon	30	
panag		25
rah		24

You might not spam very much, mate, but it's high quality spam and tends to stick out.

Also, you know when you've spent too much time on Apolyton when .... you do

Then let's send a PM or email to them...

Then let's delete them...



Yeah, I'm sure you could come up with a way to do it automatically, but then it would take time to create such a hack to the system... And there would still be people who got nailed by accident because face it, no program is perfect.

Auto-email can be done. I don't think it takes a hack.

Just ask tordenskiold of historic-battles.com for how to do it

I would have said "You know you are searching too hard for a valid spam post when....you do this:"

4th, not too bad. I will of course have to try harder though, can't let Ming beat me.

Seriously though, interesting list.
