That must be one skillful cat to distract mouser even for a split second. Hurray for the cat then.

I report ALL spammers on WOT, not just the ones I ban, so it's not all my doing. I referred to that link only as a way of seeing what actually goes on behind the scenes here. Also, that list doesn't give you any idea how many of them are repeat offenders, since I can only report and rate them once.

I think you were correct when you credited mouser for the bulk of the spam removal. As a forum admin it's a little different when he bans a spammer and removes their posts...when he does it, it's gone forever to a land where nobody can see it, not even us moderators. When a moderator bans and deletes spam, other moderators can still see it in the deleted posts section.

Hey,

The thread is actually more enjoyable that I expected : There is so many people involved in making DC works, that it felt like magic, where actually real people are doing a lot of work in keeping it enjoyable.

Thank you all ;)

Only method that has worked for me is a question and answer to complete registration. Even easy question dropped spam big time.
