And another one bites the dust.

So far today (call it sunday):

1. I deleted about 20 accounts.
2. Deleted 10 spam messages
3. Deleted another message. which came later along with the spam account.
4. Deleted another 10 accounts.
5. Deleted another account set up in the last few minutes.

It's mind numbing.

can u put a thing on so if someone tries to register it send an automatic e-mail to their account that they have to reply to or something, or fill in some letters that are on a picture thingy like on some websites?

Don't just do something! Stand there.

yes and yes. I have both a captcha and a confirmation email thingy activated where a link needs to be clicked.

That is why I wanted to move to a different software (Drupal), but do not have the will to make yet another theme.

I can do the technical side, but the idea side etc I am no good at. I need someone who makes a mockup picture with exact elements that I can then code.

Can't use 'Ed as he has no taste. Nor a real understanding of technology. Nor the ability to make a usable mockup.

why do people spam?
why?

there are some people in the world that i just can't understand!

why do people watch emmerdale?
why?

do you think that perhaps the people who watch emmerdale are the ones setting up spam-bots etc?

or maybe its the ITV bosses themselves who do it.

o wait, I forgot. its the american-zionist-kafir lobbey who did it. Along with creating the hot and cold taps that don't have a single spout that mixes the water together, leaving you to quickly flick your hands left to right, constantly scolding them and freezing them at the same time.

Don't just do something! Stand there.

Try doing that (delete spam and accounts) every single day come rain or shine. It's what I do.

Pretty thankless task because if i do it right, it means no-one will notice.

On the other hand it allows me to keep my status as the lazy person beyond all lazy persons.

As for why spammers do it, its to create link spam. Fool search engines to place pages higher in the rankings. Or to advertise a product.

Sending say a million spam messages is cheap. You just set up a script and then do nothing. from that million or so just imagine 2 people respond. That is 2 potential mugs you have at your disposal.

don't worry, we all know you do the task of making us not realise we're gettin overrun by american-zionist-kafirs.

we just choose not to constantly thank you and lavish you with praise because we love the fact that your so humble, masha'Allah!

Don't just do something! Stand there.

Yes. That must be it. I am humble. Sounds good.

I want a new site look to go along with the new software - and that is the stumbling block.

I cannot think of a decent design for the homepage.

It's a blank slate.

A bit much.

We do not have too many things that are regularly updated.

The Forum is full of disgustingly-named threads Sad

Could we possibly do somethign about this sooner rather than later? What if someone read the article about Giving Up Looking at Porn and then comes on this website to search for something halal and ends up being tempted by shaitan?

Won't someone PLEASE think of the children?!?!

Don't just do something! Stand there.

admin can u PLEASE do something about this, it's getting rather sickening now! either get some more mods or move software's![/b][/color]

Looking at the memberslist page is depressing ("sort by: joined date" and "order: descending").

I created mods to be able to do all the hard work. Only problem that I did not take into account was that on I can delete accounts.

Atleast they keep the site clean during the day (and probably night aswell...)

Thought I'd mention it especially as it happens to be on topic for the forum although the unfinished sentence might have been a giveaway.
