Why do they have a 3 or 4 day mod check list if they let these people in?Doodleshark wrote:Hi.

I smell a spam bot...

Hi!
I smell spam, and I'm hungry. Now that that's done,
YAAAAAAAAASY! NO MORE SCHOOL. Ok, done.
Spam is pretty good actually. Spam sandwiches with Miracle whip are pretty much the best sandwiches ever.
Oh, I just remembered two things. One, now we can bug Stevenson to start up Survivor, and Josiah, I put a few more smileys on. I think you already saw them, but I'm just reminding you.

Hi! I'll try and remember those smilies tonight when I have more time. I'm planning to do some RP posts then too.
As for the spambots. Just because someone is a registered user doesn't mean they can post in the forums. To be a registered user it just means you filled out the form and got past the 'type in the letters/numbers in this picture' question which spam bots can unfortunately do. At this point around 99% of new registered users are spam bots. However, before users can post, their accounts have to be activated by me or another mod. That's why the forums aren't getting any spam posts/threads (compared to the previous 20+ or so a day). So you see, the mod checks work, it's just too much of a pain right now to go in and delete all the spam accounts.
In other news, my job interview went well so I get a second interview tuesday night.

Heso! My sister finished eighth grade at our dinky little private, school, which means she'll be joining me in high school next year... heh. This'll be fun.
"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.

Heso! Krazie (whose gender we don't know; why do you just assume they're a 'she' if you don't know who they are, anyway?) has been posting a bunch of spam topics in the games section, which I have been promptly deleting.
