Do we have any legit members from Russia?

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…

Even if we do, the email addresses of the now sadly- deleted were all very much bot-generated.…

Well we can add Amberrog, MalikanaLoorn, MichaelaWouth, AndreaBup to the list to be zapped.

Thanks- I’ll take a look. I actually do this weekly now.

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.

98, they like it here.

Just remember with every 99 spambots, you get a red balloon.

There’s a song in there somewhere just dying to get out…

Be careful what you wish for.

Let's try a proper one.

"Mr Karennin says she is on the train"

Another two pages worth zapped.

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

Time to buzz MelinaRa, BobbybUg and Magda299.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep. Remember. Miles to go before I sleep.

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

A damn sight friendlier than @ Russia deserves!

Latest ones zapped.
