|
|
I just noticed a number of new user accounts that were sent to my email address to be verified, but they all ended up in my spam box so I hadn't seen them before. If you are a new user, and you have been wondering why it took so long for your account to be verified and activated this is why!
However, it's possible that all these new user accounts ARE just spam-robots? Hard to tell for sure! Some of the user names seem like they could be real, others seem like they could be fake. |

new account using yandex email adress are spam bots, but some bots are using gmail also, kinda hard to spot them, sometimes the names are weird so you can be pretty sure it's bot too.
i've tried my best to clean it up.
And yeah 'im quite surprise that we have new real users from time to time. _________________ http://uberaffe.bandcamp.com |
