Any examples, please[:D]?

These remind me of the catalogs that my wife keeps getting almost weekly

1) Get yourself a device that makes pellets from paper.
2) Buy a pellet burning stove.
3) Subscribe to every catalogue out there

=> free energy delivered to your house by the mailman ! [;)]

Greetz,

You know, that's actually a good Idea. Now where did she put that pellet-making machinery catalog? I'm sure she has one.

No real point in bumping the threads until a moderator has dealt with the spambot.

Indeed.

Thank you for the valiant effort. [:)]

Heavier stuff is, unfortunately, needed.

Yeah this one was pretty bad [:@] opened the forum only to see 3-4 pages of spamspamspam, logged off immediately sigh. Maybe we should add more moderators/admins in different time zones to block the spammers while they are active?

We add an extra protection filter...
It seems to have worked, with these last bots.

The spam problem seems to have been greatly reduced.

Thank you, Matrix, for this. [:)]

I just noticed some spam in Wars of Succession forum. How should it be reported for best effect?

Also, is Wars of Succession a dead project?

You can always pm me and report the spam.
I've clean it now.

Regarding your second question, I'm not sure, but I think it's not a dead project.

Thank you. [&o]

Good news about Wars of Succession. [:)]

I suppose it is time for a 'I appreciate the Matrix Games Staff' thread. You guys are, as always, awesome.

Cheers.

There is very much progress on Wars of Succession. :) It is a big game, so of of course it is a slow process, but it is going well.

I do not mind slow process. But one begin to wonder when there are no updates or even posts on the forum.
