I wish. I'm working on clearing it all now, but it'll take a while.

All done. What a pain in the ass.

I've altered user registration settings to require my approval. We don't get a whole lot of legitimate new registrations, so it should be less of a pain in the ass than deleting six pages worth of spam postings......

Looks like the spammers had set up a couple of extra accounts they hadn't used yet, hence the spam posts put up over the weekend. At least it was less than a page worth of spam threads... you should have seen it Friday morning. Six pages.

I just deleted a shitload of accounts with zero posts, many of which were clearly spam accounts that had been set up but never posted anything. And all new user registrations have to be approved by me, so hopefully we're done with this spam.
