Any way you can go over his head? I've found that to be very effective when dealing with this sort of thing.:D

Does Horror actually own the website? Perhaps he'd be interested in selling it if the ownership has become too much to handle. Christmas is coming up.;)

Had emailed ElGato (the other admin and my friend) a week back regarding this spammer problem, when I got no reply from horror to my continuous emails.

He has been online tonight, and in constant touch with me through PMs since then. Now, the Re-Captcha Anti Spamming Verification Kit has been added to the New User Registration process:



The No-Spam Verification question also stays.

Thanks a lot, ElGato!

Fellow HDCers, breathe a sigh of relief. :)

Good work man!

So posts with links/youtube videos need to be approved by a mod first now? That's come up a couple of times for me today.

I think the admin did that on purpose, after seeing the newbie posts spamming their blogs and websites.

Let me see if I can do something about it.
