You speak true, my friend :oops:

Maybe make the SaveBox capacity unlimited?... at least for me :lol:

Well, maybe not unlimited. But I did double the SaveBox capacity to 150 (InBox is set to 75).

I'll see if Chogon can shut down that Elibliorili account. Thanks for the alert.

[Edit] OK, the account is now closed down and mailboxes purged.

Add Elibliorili to the list.

Mac_Fife · **Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2012 9:09 pm

I've asked Chogon to attend to PreelaPow.

Elibliorili was shut down yesterday, unless you're say that you've got PMs from that account dated more recently?

I don't know how much control you can have on spammers.

I've looked at numbers since 3 days. There are around 500 to 600 new accounts created each day. That's a bit over the top! We have.... 1,300 new members since Tuesday! :lol:

I'm lucky I have not got any Spam yet

PreelaPow is being shut down as I type.

There's not much we can do about those spambot registrations - we can't screen 400+ new accounts per day and it's been like that for maybe 2 years now. Since the requirement to join the "Explorers" group was introduced, only one, maybe two, have ever managed to make a forum post. However they can send PMs, but very few of these spam accounts actually do that (so far :roll:

).
