Sorry, Ruskies!
« on: May 27, 2006, 02:39:22 PM »
Because every spammer on the face of the planet seems to come from Soviet Russia, I have decided to put the following filter into place:

The following email addresses will be banned
*.*.ru

Basically, this means anyone with an email address which has the suffix, "ru" will no longer be able to register.

If anyone has a problem with this new restriction, please write to your captain:

I just thought I'd point out that since putting this "Zero Tollerance on Russian Assholes" policy into effect, we have not gotten one spammer to sign up for an account, nor did they post any crap.

Even if they did signup for an account, I'd find out quickly, as when someone registers an email is sent to me. Included in the email is their username, and a direct link to their profil containing a "Rapid Delete" button to quickly purge the Russian from the database.

I guess that's what they get for being time travellers. :/

If you're living, doesn't that mean you are traveling through time?
