...On a more serious note, the confirmation code you have to enter to register is probably too easy for computers to crack. Either that, or someone is registering the computer before letting it spam here.

Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 6:57 amI keep wondering why they only post in the offtopic threads. Polite spambots?

I haven't been sure what to make of that either...

Please, Dryu, have pity on the sick person and don't make me go into coughing fits due to laughing hysterically.

Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 7:19 amIf you do, Sicon, drink something, but not alcohol or sewer water. Just milk or sodas or juice or water.
Oh, and, is there a trope for Badass Avatar I could put on your section of the Character Sheet?

I dunno. I suppose you could mention the avatar under tropes such as Red Eyes Take Warning or something, but that really more applies to Sabrac than it does to me...

Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 9:01 amSerously, doesn't this forum use captchas when you make an account?
Re: What is with all the advertisement drops
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 10:23 amI checked and, yes it does use captchas, but I can imagine them not being very difficult to read for a computer.
I've heard about a new kind of captcha that gives you a situation and then asks how it makes you feel. Since computers cannot do that yet, it might be an idea for this forum.

Once again, your signature is the only logical way to deal with this situation. Someone get the warhead.

Frankly I'm amazed by how often Guyshane's signature is the only appropriate course of action for any possible situation.

Not sure if you were serious, but one of the spam messages was French and the subject was lesbians and sex, or something. So that's not very likely

Oh, we're talking with a reality warping cat, have the frikking Holmes in New York and are trying to make the West Witch president... Why is it not likely that a troll inclined character would send lesbian ads at us?
Yup. The WMG is only for the lulz.

It would be an incredibly creative and awesome idea though. I'm hoping against hope that it's still true.
