Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Re: the spambots are coming
I tried changing up the names of the fields on the registration page in an attempt to possible slow them down, I'll try adding a captcha when I get home.

Re: the spambots are coming
Do we rebel?
Or assimilate?

Re: the spambots are coming
Assimilate, of course. Resistance is futile.

Re: the spambots are coming
Is it useful to report them, or can I just ignore, assuming you will see?

Re: the spambots are coming
I'd assume it'd be seen quicker reported than not.

Can confirm. I'll see topics (but usually not posts) on my own but reports help me out to make sure I've got everything quickly and clean up any missed spots. The reports system is one of the most powerful tools we have because of you guys.

Re: the spambots are coming
Can you remove the limit of 60 seconds for users over 1k posts then?
I'll report the spambots, and even track them down if I have time, but not if I need to wait 60 seconds in between each one. At that rate, it's be faster to copy urls and send them to you.

Done. And it didn't even take me a full 24 hours to remember.
