Josiah... Admin Account Activation now please? That was too much... I didn't delete the current spam bots posts because you said you could get rid of them all at once, but I deleted that one because there were some complaints... went straight for the delete button, and I still saw more than I wanted to...

Yeah the current system isn't working.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

So it's a bot that doesn't spam? Huh, that's almost cool.

All major search engines have bots or spiders which they use to add web pages to their index. Nothing to worry about.
