New Captcha Application - Deletion of non-activated accounts
Posted: January 20th, 2011, 11:54 pm
BowlingChat,
Due to the recent influx of spammer accounts, and the crumbling of reCAPTCHA in verifying legitimate human users, I've implemented a new *intelligent* CAPTCHA program called peoplesign.
Its an image matching challenge program that forces you to select 2 similar images as a right of passage.
Since we have so many odd accounts over the past few weeks, I have removed a very large number, close to 200, inactive spam accounts.
If your account had a very weird name, like, "DrmMoviesForFree" or "aexteseeaidews36" or you're from the outer corners of well know spammer origins like Russia, Poland, Brazil, China, and have an odd email account name with a bunch of periods or plusses, or you're showing from chicago, but use a UK email address, your account probably got whacked before it was activated.
If you recently signed up, but havent activated, and the activation doesnt work, please resign up. Hopefully these spammer problems are behind us for the time being, as you know, spammers never stop inventing ways to circumvent intelligence gates.
Sorry for the inconvenience if I didnt save your account, please reregister.
