What sort of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

Am I reading the right thread? How is that a necroposter? The OP was 9 weeks ago and the last, prior to necroboy, was only 3 weeks ago. WTF?

Watch and learn, this is a necroposter - viewtopic.php?p=12479135#p12479135

See the difference? :)

Disallowing guest posts does not stop spamming, does it?

You did them fast enough as did you also deactivate the spam accounts?

Nope you did not as I guess I will go through members list and deal with any spam accounts found.

It does however keep the spam from being seen by public or search bots.

Would someone mind weighing in on this? I feel like there's a language barrier issue:
