there's been an abundance of ones like that lately, many choosing the afghan flag but linking to .com or .ru websites. I think when it's obvious they're just spammers, there's no point giving them the chance to do it. |

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the process is automated. I doubt Swamper keeps track of 65,000+ users. |

it seems to be manual, as I have had accounts activated in less than a day, and some that take a few days or more to activate... :p |
:wtf:
Woah, in that case I've been taking the Swampman for granted. |

tis a puzzling one isn't it. Just means they cause havoc until a mod gets called in.
I'm sure he doesn't activate dumb account names manually.. |

I heard Swamper likes the COR funneh so accounts like those will get validated just for fun.
Give the man a break, he probabaly gets a lot of new members a day, one slip here and there may happen. The threads usually get locked, deleted or raped by the TA mass anyways so no harm done. |

probably. All of the bdays are the same... |

Just because they're 'registered' doesn't mean they have posting privs... every single signup is screened before they can post.
The odd one gets through - and - some are allowed in even if it may look like they're coming here to spam, since, I'm not always right about that - but if they do spam - they're not here very long anyways. |
