Some trolls here
Re: Some trolls here
Another 78 Russian and Turkish trolls deleted.
We have 276 users who have never posted, but have been active recently and with usernames/ email addresses that look legit. We may need to get a little campaign going to get lurkers at least acknowledged as such. A minimum of one post per week for admin purposes or somesuch.

Re: Some trolls here
I thought the first few (3 ??) posts were moderated?
Perhaps a required "Who Am I" post in a "Who Are You / Introduce Yourself" thread might be in order. Then only after that introduction is made would the new member have permissions to post board-wide.

Re: Some trolls here
Bernard, I believe the socially accepted spelling of the word you used is "Giggidy". That's a "D" sound, not a "T" sound at the end. And with the double "G" in the middle for the extra Guh emphasis.

So. I checked the traps for newly-registered members awaiting Admin approval. 20 of them. All suspiciously not-like and about half with email addresses ending .ru
Hmm. All summarily executed.
