• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I'm a new member and when I went to the Members list, I saw a bunch of weird stuff with exclamation marks ! at the beginning of the list. A moderator might want to look at that and clean it out.

A mod can't do shit about it.

And seeing as how this is a MyWowBB hosted forum, I don't know that an admin even could.

I think they can delete accounts.

But you have toknow it is a bad account and there are just too many. What is the membership up to now? 20,000???

If you delete half the BS accounts.. the total membership count would drop. :shock:

Mods could certainly alert the Admins to people with multiple screen names.

Actually, the admin tools from Wowbb are pretty good. I have written a SQL routine that identifies "spam-bot" accounts and prunes them. I run it every month or so.

I just ran it and it deleted 2,038 bad accounts.

Fair enough. I don't have any experience with this particular software from the admin end, I'm a VBulletin fanboy.
