So apparently we're getting hit with a large number of spammers as of late.
I've been able to tell they are all coming from connections in Russia, so I put up a block on that part of the 'net. That I know of, none of our players are in Siberia...
Hopefully, this will keep things down. There's other anti-spam measures in place, but they only work if there isn't actually a person reading the forums (instead of a Bot), and apparently some spammers are paying people to spam on forums for them. ::)

What you need is one of those thingies that traces it back and sends a bajillion watts into their system. Of there is not something like that, you could make a bundle when you develop one.
