Default Trolls and Spammers?!

Seems that they have circumvented whatever preventative measures are in place just within the last few weeks.

I have seen some posting in various sections. I wasn't trying to throw up alarms. My main question is if we spot one that slipped under the wire who is the Troll ****?

They are getting good at the scripting - been a while since I signed up so I don't recall; Does MF have a 'enter the characters you see here' buffer to help defeat some of them, yes? Maybe time for a new one, if they have 'seen' them all and captured the queries completely.

Maybe we could just make this like a Report them thread in an effort to help Admin get rid of them?

That is not scripting.

Three different unrelated posts in three different threads. That is a person that has a plan for something. What, I don't know but check out the other posts from that person.
