1.) Ignore them, they want attention. Giving it to them will only encourage them.
2.) Keep a backup region or two handy, with a password in place, in case you are raided. You can move there if needed.

There's a reason we request links to the member profile, folks. Once we have that, it doesn't matter how many copies they post. We kill their forum account, and they all disappear in one mouse click.


Except, that is, for the idiots who PERSIST in REPLYING TO ADBOTS. To those of you who think it's cute or helpful, PLEASE STOP.

Here's the spam thread, freshly generated in General: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=339409

And here's the link to the culprit himself: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=671180
CVT Temp wrote:I mean, we can actually create a mathematical definition for evolution in terms of the evolutionary algorithm and then write code to deal with abstract instances of evolution, which basically equates to mathematical proof that evolution works. All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

“One of the serious problems of planning against Aggie doctrine is that the Aggies do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.”
“The reason that the Aggies does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the Aggies practices chaos on a daily basis.”
