No, they were all activated.

As I understand it, from a malicious point of view they <could> spam the system with zillions of posts a La DDOS stylee. However they’d need their first 5 to be approved by mods first.

Which is interesting how some of these new threads are getting started by new users, I think there’s a loophole that may need fixing…

Seems the Russians come more than actual members, despite this board having TLs that involved at least two major wars against the Old Soviet Union.

On the other hand, the TBOverse and Armageddon were both pretty friendly to the Russians.

Been zapping them whenever I see a post approval that’s clearly spam.
