Do you have the option to change status from active to blocked?

Nope. I can directly remove posts, but I don't have any options for users yet. I think we need my account moved over to mod or whatever flag is set for the position for me to have any control over user accounts.

Unless I am missing something obvious here. And with me, that is always a possibility...

I think this will make it a lot easier to track which threads I want to uread and report spammers without repeatedly opening e-mail messages.

Oh, it seems the bot have defeated the CAPTCHA system! :(

The "bot" just inherited a user-created account. "I made the account, but here, bot, it is yours."

As far as the changing to posts, we may be looking at something far more complex than what the software was written for. Zach?

It appears that someone came in and cleaned up those posts before I was awake.

Thanks for the heads up!

Tivon, Rod, I need your help on this one. I can delete posts, but this is obviously some strange bot mechanism, and I still don't have rights to remove accounts.

Any luck yet on getting my account properly set up? It's been a few months, now.

Only two that needed deletion, but thanks again! Keep those eyes open! Since we started agressively attacking spammers, we have seen a MARKED DECLINE in spam posts! Keep our forum clean!

Can you supply a screenshot of what you are seeing? I'm not seeing anything. Most don't even have replies at all.

I revisited some of those pages and I couldn't see any of them as well. So someone might've already removed them. :D

Hmm... well again, I think someone had removed it before you were going to. I'll take a screenshot next time you're too late.

So, is anyone going to admit removing those spam posts? Or must I assume that I am so intimidating that they removed themselves?

LOL!

Tivon, can you check out this user? I think all 8 posts are spam (same text, actually), so I'd vote just remove the account entirely.

Is Zach EVER going to finally change my account type?

Not sure how to react to that. Baidu is China's alternative to Google. Spam, or a suggestion?

You got plenty of spam posts going in here along with some language I do not understand:
