The sad thing is, most of these aren't actually bots. Some poor sap is getting paid a pittance in some third-world country to sign up on random websites and spam this crap.

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.

We've got another poor underpaid bot plying his wares in GP: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=810216

When you've got time, could you educate him of the errors of his ways?
Thanks in advance,

ML, anarchism, co-operativism (known incorrectly as "Market Socialism"), Proudhonism, radical liberalism, utopianism, social democracy, national capitalism, Maoism, etc. are not communist tendencies. Read a book already.
